Database outlines define the structure of a
multidimensional database, including all the
dimensions, members, aliases, properties, types,
consolidations, and mathematical relationships.
The structure defined in the outline determines
how data is stored in the database.
When a database is created, Analytic Services
creates an outline for that database automatically.
The outline has the same name as the database
(dbname.otl). For example, when the Basic
database is created within the Sample
application, an outline is created in the following
directory:
ARBORPATH/app/sample/basic/basic.otl

Descendants:- Descendants are members in branches below a
parent. For example, Profit, Inventory, and Ratios are
descendants of Measures. The children of Profit, Inventory, and
Ratios are also descendants of Measures @Descendants().
Ancestors:-Ancestors are members in branches above a
member. For example, Margin, Profit, and Measures are
ancestors of Sales.
Root:-The root is the top member in a branch. Measures is the
root for Profit, Inventory, Ratios, and the children of Profit,
Inventory, and Ratios.

Member Properties You can specify a broad variety of settings for each
member that define the member’s storage characteristics and other rollup
and reporting behaviors.
* Aliases
* Consolidation operators
* Data storage
* User-defined attributes (UDAs)
* Attribute dimensions
Aliases :Aliases are names that can be used in place of the main member
name. Aliases are commonly used for storing descriptions (for example,
account or cost center names) and for providing alternative naming
conventions where organization sectors use different terminology or a foreign
language. Like the member names, aliases can be used for:
Consolidation operators are set for members in the Member Properties dialog box.
Consolidators include:
Add(+), subtract(-), multiply,(*) and divide(/)
% (computes a percentage)
~ (tilde; causes the member to be ignored during consolidation)
Year->Qtr1->Mon->Day
Margin=Sales-COGS

COGS(-)

Mar(+) Qtr1=Jan+Feb+Mar
User-defined attributes (UDAs) are special flags you can use for
reporting and calculations. Using UDAs is a way to avoid setting up
addition dimensions where the member identification information is
not hierarchical.
Note: Attribute dimension the member of attribute Dim and Standard dim should be
at same level***.
There is no such constraints.

Variance reporting properties determine how Analytic Services calculates the difference
between actual and budget data in a member with the @VAR or @VARPER function in
its member formula.
Any member that represents an expense to the company requires an expense property.
When you are budgeting expenses for a time period, the actual expenses should be lower than
the budget
When actual expenses are greater than budget, the variance is negative

Report Scripts
The remote data is retrieved from the data source each time that users at the
data target request it. Users do not need to know where the data is stored,
because they see it as part of their local database.
Because the data is retrieved directly from the data source, users see the latest
version of the data.
