Differences between CLEARUPDATESTATUS ONLY and AFTER

Question

As we load data on a monthly basis (time is a sparse dimension), we would like to take advantage of Intelligent Calculation.We use a calcscript with several FIX - CALC DIM(several dimensions, not all) - ENDFIX.We are not sure if we should use:a) the command SET CLEARUPDATESTATUS AFTER at the beginning of the calc script. However, the administrator guide says that with sparse dimensions level 0 blocks are not marked as clean, and as a result, next month Essbase recalculates again upper-level blocks for previous months (it is not neccesary, as previous months were already calculated)or b) at the end of the calcscript add two sentences: SET CLEARUPDATESTATUS AFTER; CALC ALL; (These commands only marks all blocks as clean including level 0, so it does not recalculate previous months).Should we use option b) instead of a)?Thank you very much for your help

Answer 1

We can't do a registry key change no.  We don't have any control over the end-user's setup.  But perhaps there is a line we can add to the XML source to do it on a per form basis?  In the same way I forced legacy rendering using
<?originalXFAVersion http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-template/2.4/ LegacyRendering:1?>
Failing that, are you aware of any methods that can be used to clear out some of the memory used by the form?  We're also exploring other methods for 'hiding' subforms, we're currently investigating dynamically moving objects in the hierachy at runtime so we can shift the nested subforms off screen temporarily. 
Thanks for your thoughts on this Paul.
