Which statement describes how Data Management locations can share dimension member mappings?

• A. Locations cannot share mappings.
• B. Locations do not support parent-child relationships.
• C. Locations can share dimension member mappings by specifying a location as a parent location of others.
• D. Location security is not involved.

Answer: (C)

Sharing dimension member mappings across Data Management locations is done by using a parent-child location structure. When you designate one location as the parent of others, the mappings defined at the parent can be reused by the child locations. This lets multiple locations share a single set of dimension member mappings, ensuring consistency and avoiding duplication. That’s why the statement about locations sharing mappings by specifying a location as a parent location of others is the correct description.

The other ideas don’t fit because sharing via a defined parent relationship is the mechanism Data Management provides; saying sharing isn’t possible or that parent-child relationships don’t exist contradicts how mappings are centralized and propagated. Security aspects govern access but don’t define how mappings are shared.
