Creating an OLAP metaoutline in EIS

In contrast to Essbase Studio, we will be using the OLAP metaoutline to accomplish tasks like building hierarchies, creating a cube schema, creating an Essbase model, and setting Essbase properties. Building an OLAP metaoutline will require us to define our measures, create the hierarchies within our dimension, define the organizational structure of groups of members, and define members among other tasks.
