Sanity Check on Feeders and Unloading Cubes

Post by hbell »

If cube A feeds cube B, and cube B is unloaded and reloaded, I would NOT expect the A=>B feeder to refire unless A is also unloaded/reloaded or it's rules amended and resaved. Hence B will not consolidate correctly until all cubes on which it depends (or their rules) are also recycled. Is that correct?

You are correct except that you can also re-fire the feeders for Cube B via the ProcessFeeders command in a TI process.

Thanks tomok. One of those little wrinkles that probably makes you want to use Unload sparingly in a complex inter-dependent server.
