Disable cubes when you want
to prevent all access to the cube, without stopping any OLAP servers.
You disable cubes as part of the cube update process, before clients
can access a new version of a cube. When a cube is disabled, no new
sessions can be started on that cube, on any OLAP server. Disabling
a cube does not close existing sessions. Existing sessions either
terminate on their own, or are closed using the SAS OLAP Server Monitor.
Note that you do not
need to disable a cube to update a cube in-place. When you update
a cube in-place, you add data without closing sessions. Although this
method of update does not interrupt client access, the process does
not enable testing beforehand, and it does not provide a previous
version of the cube that you can put back into service.
To disable or enable
a cube, follow these steps:
-
Start SAS Management
Console.
-
Expand the Monitoring
folder and expand the SAS OLAP Server Monitor.
-
Expand the OLAP Schema
folder.
-
Right-click the cube
and select
Disable or
Enable.
