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.
