You can calculate the correct results by telling Essbase not to mark the calculated data blocks as
clean. The following calculation script calculates the correct results:
SET CLEARUPDATESTATUS OFF;
FIX(“New York”)
CALC DIM(Product);
ENDFIX
SET CLEARUPDATESTATUS AFTER;
FIX(“New York”)
CALC DIM(Year);
ENDFIX
With the SET CLEARUPDATESTATUS OFF command, Essbase calculates dirty data blocks but
does not to mark them as clean, unlike the SET CLEARUPDATESTATUS AFTER command.
This solution assumes that the data blocks are not marked as clean from a previous partial
calculation of the database.
You can ensure that all data blocks are calculated, regardless of their status, by disabling
Intelligent Calculation. The following calculation script calculates all specified data blocks,
regardless of their clean or dirty status:
SET UPDATECALC OFF;
FIX(“New York”)
CALC DIM(Year, Product);
ENDFIX
Because you have not used the SET CLEARUPDATESTATUS AFTER command, Essbase does
not mark calculated data blocks as clean.
