Refresh Dimension

Use this command to refresh all symbol information in a particular dimension.

When you connect to the Data Server repository, the most recent symbol information is automatically downloaded. However, before making changes to the Data Server repository, such as adding a symbol or editing a hierarchy, you probably want to make sure you have the most up-to-date symbol information in the database (if, for example, another user has made hierarchy changes). You can use this command to retrieve the most recent symbol and hierarchy information in a particular dimension.

This command must be used in conjunction with Maintenance. While it is enabled, no other users can perform maintenance related activities in the Data Server repository. When you are finished, you must remember to disable the Maintenance mode, and thereby allow normal access by other users. For more information, see Maintenance or Exclusive.
