Hi,
when I first looked into Intelligent Calculation it seemed useful.
Then I saw that you needed to calculate the entire database for blocks to be marked clean, and marked it down as an opportunity lost in my own mind.
Recently I saw in the Essbase documentation; 'SET CLEARUPDATESTATUS' ..... "AFTER - Marks blocks as clean , even if you are calculating a subset of your database"
So now I am thinking that to minimise unnecessary aggregation processing is it worth using SET CLEARUPDATESTATUS AFTER in conjunction with SET UPDATECALC ON in my pure aggregation scripts.
My question then is is the above observation valid, is it worth using the settings I describe in the way that I describe?
