RulesOverwriteCellsOnLoad is NOT working

Hi, all
My version is 10.2.2 FP7, I put a numeric value into a cell, e.g. 888 and then applied a rule to get value from another cell, e.g. 999.
The parameter RulesOverwriteCellsOnLoad is not in the config file and I restart the server, disable the rule, the original value 888 is still there.
According to https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgece ... nload.html It should be true if this parameter is not present in the configuration file.
Even if I put RulesOverwriteCellsOnLoad=T into config file and reboot, the original value 888 is still there.
And then I put RulesOverwriteCellsOnLoad=F into config file and reboot, the original value 888 is still there.

It looks like RulesOverwriteCellsOnLoad has no effect at all, am I doing something wrong here? Thanks.

I can confirm same situation on PAL 2.0.6. Has anyone really got this parameter working as expected?

TM1SERVER_APP_version=TM1SERVER_APP-AW64-ML-RTM-11.0.6.71-0



WORKED FINE.
write some data in cube. append on this slice rule savedataall restart.

RulesOverwriteCellsOnLoad=F data save after disable rule
RulesOverwriteCellsOnLoad=T data loss after disable rule

hi, Drg
I have same version as yours but not working.
What I have done is, set RulesOverwriteCellsOnLoad=T first, savedataall and reboot.
create a simple cube with simple value,

attach a rule for copying value from "3" cell, savedataall and reboot

I have read the documentation and I understand its name as shown in the picture below.
Another question that I found an interesting feature is that it is marked with the third option. I suppose this is updated with the update of the cube and in combat situations it will lead you according to the documentation.

Appreciated your testing! I found my root cause now. It is because of PersistentFeeders. I have that enabled and obviously, after disabling, RulsOverwriteCellsOnLoad works as expected. :D
I noticed your third testing. Yes, it did happen to me as well and I have done further testing on that. Once they are zeros before rebooting with RulsOverwriteCellsOnLoad=F, if you write some new values to same cells, these old rule-overwritten values won't come back after rebooting. Seems that they have been deleted permanently. I am guessing IBM is using some "roll-back" mechanism to cache these old values somewhere for rolling back. Anyway, it is good to know. :lol:

That's interesting. RulsOverwriteCellsOnLoad should be independent of PersistentFeeders! That this doesn't work when PersistentFeeders is switched on might say something to the recent bugs where (persistent) feeders deleted data on server load

That is my original thought too. But what I tell is if you have PersistentFeeders switched on in 10.2.2 FP7, this parameter still doesn't work after testing. :o
