Ans: Yes
What are LRO's( Linked Reporting Objects)?
Ans: They are specific objects like files, cell notes or URL's associated with specific data cells of Essbase database. You can link multiple objects to a single data cell. These linked objects are stored in the server. These LRO's can be exported or imported with the database for backup and migration activities.
What are the three primary build methods for building dimensions?
Ans:
1. Generation references
2. Level references

How does UDA's impact database size?
Ans: There will be no impact on the database as the UDA’s doesn’t store data in the database.
Can we have an metaoutline based on two different OLAp models.
Ans: No.
Can we create UDA’s and apply it to Dense as well as Sparse dimensions?
Ans: Yes
Types of Partitions available in Essbase?
Ans: Three types of partitions are there.
1. Transparent partition: A form of shared partition that provides the ability to access and manipulate remote data transparently as though it is part of your local database. The remote data is retrieved from the data source each time you request it. Any updates made to the data are written back to the data source and become immediately accessible to both local data target users and transparent data source users
2. Replicated Partition:
3. Linked Partition:
What is hybrid analysis?
Ans: Lower level members and associated data remains in relational database where as upper level members and associated data resides in Essbase database.
Why top-down calculation less efficient than a bottom-up calculation?Being less efficient, why do we use them.
Ans: In the process it calculates more blocks than is necessary. Sometimes it is necessary to perform top-down calculation to get the correct calculation results.
On what basis you will decide to invoke a serial or parellel calculation method.
Ans: If we have a single processor, we will use serial calculation but if we have multiple processors we can break the task into threads and make them run on different processors.
How can you display UDA’s in reports?
Ans: UDA's values are never displayed in the reports and hence do not impact report performance.
While loading the data, you have applied both the selection criteria as well as rejection criteria to a same record. What will be the outcome?
Ans: The record will be rejected.
What are the specified roles other than Aministrator to view sessions, disconnect sessions or kill users requests for a particular application?

Ans: 1. Login attempts allowed before username is disabled.

Ans: Essbase is an file based database where the data is stored in PAG files of 2 GB each and grows sequentially.
We have created an application as unicode mode. Can we change it later to non-unicode mode.
Ans: No
What are the types of partitioning options available in Essbase?
Ans: 1. Replicated partition. 2. Transparent partition 3. Linked partition.
Dynamic calc decreases the retreival time and increases batch database calculation time. How true is the statement?
Ans: The statement should be just opposite. As dynamic calc members are calculated when requested, the retreival time should increase.
What is the role of provider services.
Ans: To communicate between Essbase and Microsoft office tools.
A customer wants to run two instances of an Essbase server on a same machine to have both test environment and Development environment on the same server. Can he do that?
Ans: Yes. We can have multiple instances of an Essbase server on a single machine and there will be different sets of windows services for all these instances.
Why top-down calculation less efficient than a bottom-up calculation?Being less efficient, why do we use them.
Ans: In the process it calculates more blocks than is necessary. Sometimes it is necessary to perform top-down calculation to get the correct calculation results.
