Managing Dimension Tasks and Instances


In Metric Management, when a dimension table configured with Sync from Data Catalog or Sync from Database synchronization method is published, a dimension task will be created, and a task instance will be generated every time the dimension table is synchronized.

Note

After a dimension table is unpublished, the corresponding dimension tasks will also be deleted automatically.
