Feeders not working?

Post by vladino »

Hi all,
I'm a bit depressed with my situation and I hope that someone helps me... :-/

I have two cubes - one with actuals and one for planning purposes. First of all I would like to link actuals from actuals cube to planning cube.

Dimensionality is as follows (dimension order applied):
actuals (regions, entities_actuals, products, measures_actuals, time)
plan (regions, time, products, measures_plan, entities_plan, versions)

In the planning cube I have this rule applied:
['regions':'E1R1',
'time':'01 2014',
'products':'others',
'measures_plan':'costs',
'entities_plan':'E1',
'versions':'actuals'] =
N:DB('actuals', 'E1R1', 'E1', 'others', 'costs', '01 2014');

This works and I can see the data in the target cell.

I also have feeder in the source cube:
['regions':'E1R1',
'entities_actuals':'E1',
'products':'others',
'measures_actuals':'costs',
'time':'01 2014'] =>
DB('plan', 'E1R1', '01 2014', 'others', 'costs', 'E1', 'actuals');

When I right-click the cell in the source cube and select Trace Feeders I can see that the target cell is fed.
When I right-click the cell in the target cube and select Check Feeders I can see that the target cell is not fed and consolidated levels are not populated, too.

What the hell am I missing???

Appreciate any help!

Nothing jumps out at me. Is this a copy/paste or a retype?

To test further, do you have n-level cells on both left-hand side and right-hand side of the feeder ?
Did you unload the cube to fire feeders again (or bounce the server, which is more drastic) ?

Can you confirm the left hand side of your feeder statement is an N level and that the hard coded rules are the exact rules you have in the rule sheet as opposed to your interpretation of what is going on?

It is very unlikely that this a bug and probable that some form of user error is involved.

Suggest you post screen shots of your trace and check feeders too.

Just for sure, try switching off persistent feeders and recycle your test.
