Load Test Data
Before you can test calculations, consolidations, and reports, you need data in the Essbase database. During the design process, loading mocked-up data or a subset of real data provides flexibility and shortens the time required to test and analyze results.
Refer to the following topics for detailed instructions for loading data:
If you’re satisfied with your database design after the preliminary test, load the complete set of real data with which you’ll populate the final database. Use the test rules files, if possible. This final test may reveal source data problems that were not anticipated during earlier design phases.
