Dimension: A dimension represents the highest consolidation level in the database outline. The
database outline presents dimensions and members in a tree structure to indicate
ahierarchyrelationship.
InEssbasetherearetwotypesofDimensions.Theyare:
1. StandardDimension
2. AttributeDimension
Standard Dimension: Standard dimension is a dimension which defines the core
componentsofBusinessPlan.
Eg:Time,Accounts,Product,Customer,Regionetc.,
Standarddimensionisfurtherclassifiedintotwotypes:

Eg: Consider a product dimension consisting of iphones as its members. Iphones can be
categorizedindifferentwaysusingitscharacteristics/Specifications.

The properes of dimensions dene the roles of the dimensions in the design of the
muldimensionalstructure.
Dimensiontype:
When you tag a dimension as a specic type, the dimension can access builtin funconality
designedforthattype.
For example, if you dene a dimension as accounts, you can specify accounng measures for
members in that dimension. Essbase calculates the two primary dimension types, me and
accounts, before other dimensions in the database. By default, all dimensions are tagged as
none.
DimensionType:
None:Specifiesnoparticulardimensiontype.Default.

CurrencyPartition

No of Blocks: Product of no of all sparse dimension members gives us no of blocks that are
created.
Eg: consider Product and Region dimensions with p1,p2,p3 and R1,R2,R3,R4 as their children
respectively.
Noofblocksisgivenby3(noofmembersinproductdim)X4(noofmembersinRegion)=12Blocks.
**It is recommended that block size must be between 8kb 100kb for better performance of the
cube.
