Processing Metadata Updates
You must click the Process icon in the Metadata Management toolbar to send any data model, dimension, or hierarchy changes to the database. This will commit all the previously saved changes to the database in one action. This allows you to make several changes to the metadata and reserve the action of committing them until you are finished with all the necessary updates.
Note
If multiple users are editing the same dimension, the last user to click the Save button will overwrite the other users edits.
