Feeders defined for C level items

Post by mce »

Hi,

If I defined a feeder in a way to specify a C level items as the target of the feeder, does it guarantee if new child N level items are added under this C level item, those new N level items will be automatically fed without restarting the server and without calling CubeProcessFeeders TI function?

Thanks for responses in advance.

Regards,

Example Feeder would be something like below:

Code: Select all

skipcheck;
...some rules....

feeders;
['measure_a'] => ['All Products','measure_b'];

No, the feeder won't be dynamic to structure changes.

It's not dynamic in the sense that if you add new leaf elements they'll automatically be fed, but it is dynamic in the sense that you should never have to change your code again. To feed the new elemets all you have to do is either recycle your service, open and re-save the rules, or issue a CubeProcessFeeders command in a TI process.

thanks for comments. this is in line with my observation.
however I could not find this in TM1 documentation. Documentation only refers to conditional feeders, but does not categorize this type of feeders as conditional or requiring reprocessing feeders.
