The
Storage
tab also has choices for data compression. The setting for bit-mapped
compression is the default setting and is also the most efficient because it only stores
cells that contain data. Any null values are not stored. There are several compression
methods supported and Essbase can even run with no compression. However, it
must be noted that Essbase will expand, to full uncompressed file size, any data
page file it needs at the time of the request for data.
Currency tab
If you recall from the previous discussion on the normal and currency cubes and
their uses, this tab is where you would create the symbiotic relationship by defining
what currency cube the normal cube will be using for its currency conversions.
