Interface Scenario


public interface Scenario
Context for a set of writeback operations.

An analyst performing a what-if analysis would first create a scenario, or open an existing scenario, then modify a sequence of cell values.

Some OLAP engines allow scenarios to be saved (to a file, or perhaps to the database) and restored in a future session.

Multiple scenarios may be open at the same time, by different users of the OLAP engine.
