Updating an OLAP report

The location of the OLAP data accessed by your report may change. Some possible scenarios include:

• The location of the OLAP server or database may change due to restructuring of Information System resources.
• Another cube instance may have been successfully processed and reflect more current information.
• New reports may be developed on a smaller database that represents a subset or production version of the primary OLAP database, then ported over to the actual working database to report on real data.

Before updating your report it is important to ensure that is compatible with the data. Some things to look for include:

• removing dimensions contained in the report that are not in the cube
• removing fields referred to explicitly in the design of the report, such as a formula.

Note:    If a report contains subreports or grids, and the database used for the them have changed name or location, you must update each subreport or grid.
