Usage-Based Optimization Wizard - Finish

In this step of the wizard, you save the aggregations. You can process the cube as you save the aggregations or process it at a later time. If you are designing several cubes, you can postpone processing and process them all at once.

For more information about processing cubes, see Processing Cubes.

Options

Process now

Select this option to save the designed aggregations for the cube or partition and process the cube. The new aggregations will be available for use by queries sent to the cube only after processing is completed.


Note If you choose to process the cube now, the Process dialog box appears in which you can view the progress of the operation.


Save, but don’t process now

Select this option if you want to save the newly-designed aggregations for the cube or partition, but you want to delay cube processing to a later time. Your new aggregations will not be available for use by queries sent to the cube until processing is completed.
