The tracking is done at the currency partition level: a database with two partitions has two flags, each of which can be “converted” or “unconverted.” Essbase does not store a flag for member combinations within a partition. Essbase tracks which currency partitions have been converted and which have not.

CurType includes actual and budget scenarios.Įnables conversion to occur at report time through Report WriterĮnables conversion of a converted currency back to its original, local rate using the CONV TOLOCALRATE command In the Sample.Xchgrate database, the currency type dimension is CurType. Therefore, member names in this dimension need not match member names of the main database. The currency type dimension is created when you generate the currency outline and is not directly mapped to the main database.

To convert data between scenarios, select which type of rate to use. Typically, an application has different exchange rates for different scenarios, such as actual, budget, and forecast.
