Subject areas can be built by dragging Facts
and Dimensions from Business Models. Many
Subject Areas can be built from a Business
Model, but each Subject Area can only be from
one and only one Business Model.

when a Repository is saved. Consistency Check
will ensure there are no errors in the Repository.
Consistency check can also be performed
manually, File Menu Check Global

Model.
Locks on a Repository File during save can be
released, by shutdown and re-start of the BI
Server service.
