● Select Essbase > Linked Objects to open the Linked Objects Browser dialog box.
● In the Essbase Options dialog box, select the Enable Linked Object Browsing check box to enable double-
clicking to view linked objects.
3. Select the partition that you want to connect to and click View/Launch.
Essbase creates a new worksheet that contains the dimensions and members for the cell in the linked
partition.
You need the proper privileges to access a linked partition. If your user account and password
match the account information for the linked partition, Essbase establishes a connection with
the linked partition. Otherwise, Essbase displays the Essbase System Login dialog box for you to
enter the user account and password manually.
Updating Data on the Server
Data values are changed frequently in applications that involve planning, budgeting, and
forecasting. After you retrieve data into the worksheet, you can use Spreadsheet Add-in to change
values, enter formulas, and format data. Essbase is also designed to permit multiple-user,
concurrent database access and update.
Depending on your security privileges, you may be able to modify all data values or a certain
subset of values. To recognize cells to which you have read/write access, apply a visual cue, or
style, to the cells. For more information on applying styles, see “Applying Styles to Data Cells”
on page 59.
To update data from a worksheet, you must lock the database area that contains the values that
you want to change. Locking prohibits other users from changing the data that you want to
update. Other users can retrieve locked data but cannot lock or change the data. You have
exclusive update rights to that area.
Note:
You cannot update attribute-related data on the server because attribute data is always calculated
dynamically and, hence, is not saved.
You can lock data values in three ways:
● The Retrieve & Lock command retrieves data into the worksheet while locking
the corresponding data area on the server. When you perform a subsequent retrieval, Essbase
automatically unlocks the previous data values.
Note:
The Retrieve & Lock command is not supported with Dynamic Time Series members.
● The Lock command locks information that you have already retrieved. When you perform
a subsequent retrieval, Essbase automatically unlocks the previous data values.
● The Update Mode check box in the Mode tab of the Essbase Options dialog box
automatically locks the corresponding database area for each retrieval.
