dynamic feeders

[rozef]

Hi everyone,

my problem of fedders is:

I have the dimesion "Dim" with the elements S, A1, A2, A3...
I have a rule like: []=N: IF( SUBST(!Dim, 1, 1) @= 'A' , S, CONTINUE);

This feeder wont works:
[S]=>DB( ... IF( SUBST(!Dim, 1, 1) @= 'A' , !Dim, 'nofeed'), ...);

If I write every member individually, it will works, but I search a dynamic one because some A* elements can be added.
Is it possible ?

It might be easier if you create a consolidation for the A1, A2, A3. From what I understand of your rule is that all 3 become S. If you add a consolidation and feed the consolidation it will work. When you get new A elements just make sure they are added to consolidation,

Thank you Jim.

It seems a good idea, but if there is a way to avoid a consolidation,
my dimension is the Phase dimension so...

Variable feeders can be detrimental to performance. If you set the weighting to 0 on the consolidation and block access to it using security you shouldn't have a problem. Also if you need to you can exclude it from any other rules by using stet,
