Use the Build Actions button to access the Build Actions dialog box. In the dialog box you can define build actions for the cube.
The results of full or incremental builds of cubes depends on unobserved control conditions, etc. By defining build actions, you can:
- notify users of specific results by e-mail
- retry the build a specific number of times at specified intervals, and at the beginning of the retry period notifying users of the number of retries and the wait period
To define build actions:
- Select the cube in the Design tree. The Properties pane updates.
- Choose the Build Actions tab.
- Enter the SMTP server.
- Enter the e-mail address of the user defined as the sender of the message.
- To identify the e-mail recipients for specific results, enter the e-mail address in the Recipients column of the Inform After Building group box.
- For each unsuccessful completion status, enter the e-mail recipients, the retry interval and the number of retries in the Retries group box.
- Choose the OK button. You return to the Properties pane.
Notes
- Separate multiple e-mail addresses with a ; (semi-colon).
- There is no theoretical maximum number of retries.
- The retry interval on an unsuccessful completion status is in minutes.
- O3 uses SMTP support. This means the e-mail addresses must use SMTP support and an SMTP e-mail server or SMTP support must be available.
- Changes made in the Property pane apply when you leave the pane or perform another operation in O3 designer.
