This table is populated only when the Refresh Manager Hierarchy is run (it is not populated when UI updates are made or HDL is run).  A full refresh with parameter value of 0 refreshes the new OTBI table. A full refresh with no parameter values populates the existing denormalized tables. You can incrementally refresh the new OTBI table by entering a negative number of days in the parameter. For example, entering a parameter value -3 incrementally refreshes the new OTBI table; Entering a parameter value 3 incrementally refreshes the existing denormalized tables.
