MAINTAIN MOVE

A MAINTAIN command with the MOVE keyword has different effects depending on the object on which it operates:

• When maintaining a dimension, MAINTAIN MOVE changes the position of one or more values in a non-concat dimension or a dimension of type TEXT, ID, or INTEGER or adds previously-populated dimension or composite values to a partition

  
  

  Note: You can also issue a MAINTAIN MOVE dimension value statement for a surrogate dimension that has a Maintain trigger. In this case, Oracle OLAP only executes the Maintain trigger program; no other action occurs. See "Trigger Programs" for more information for more information. Issuing a MAINTAIN statement for a surrogate dimension that does not have a Maintain trigger, returns an error.

  
  

• When maintaining a partition, MAINTAIN MOVE moves the data of a previously-partitioned variables from one partition to another as it changes the dimension or composite values defined for a partition in the partition template which the variables are dimensioned.
