Seeing those two XML files since the Essbase installation… Everytime I just open it, browse it & close it. These files looks to define the outline metadata of BSO & ASO. Always wanted to edit the files & see if the change really gets into effect. In case that happens, we can define the default settings for our cubes’ outline.

For example, by default the duplicate members in BSO/ASO outlines is disabled. I see this section in the file, what if I change defaultValue to true & restart Essbase service? Will it start accepting duplicate names by default?

But I do not have enough courage to test that on Prod.
