Updating SAS OLAP Cubes

Updating the Captions and Descriptions for a Cube

You can update the captions and descriptions for a cube without adding data to the cube. This is considered a nonstructural update and can be performed on a cube with the UPDATE_DISPLAY_NAMES option for PROC OLAP. This option enables you to identify captions and descriptions on a cube that will change. Here is an example:

proc olap cube=cubename description="new description" UPDATE_DISPLAY_NAMES
 	dt=newdtname; 
	  metasvr options; 
	  dimension time description="New TimeDescription" caption="New TimeCaptions";

Note: The only description that can change when a cube is renamed is the cube description (the drill-through table name might also be changed during a rename). Other descriptions and captions must be altered in a separate step after the cube is renamed. [cautionend]
