6. Calculate a Model

Calculating a model takes the transaction tables in your input directory, applies assignment rules in the model to make calculations, and stores the calculation results in columns that are appended to your transaction tables in the output directory.

1. Select a model.
2. Select Actions Calculate Model.
   
   The Calculate window opens.
3. Select the periods to calculate, and then click Next.
   
   Note: Because each transaction table is associated with only one period, when you recalculate a model, you do not need to recalculate all of the transaction tables. For example, you can calculate January and then February as a separate calculation. You do not need to process a single period's transaction table more than once as the months proceed through the year.
4. Select the table groups to include in the calculation, and then click Next.
5. Select the cubes to generate, and then click Next.
   
   Note: This window will appear only if you have previously generated cubes for this model
6. After selecting the cubes to generate , select the number of concurrent sessions to run, and then click Finish.
7. When the calculation finishes, click Details to view the message log.
