Copying not fed cells

Post by tposepny »

Hi,

I have a cube A where all the values are rule based (rules in cube A to load data from cube B). However, I don't have corresponding feeders in the source cube B, because they are too big (25GB of A.feeder file) and I don't care about consolidations, so I don't really need them.

The problem is, that when I try to copy the N-level values from cube A to another cube, nothing is copied. For copying I have tried Bedrock processes as well as process generated from link created in Performance Modeler. None of them has copied anything. Does it mean, that I can not copy values that are not fed?

Thanks,
Tom

Presumably you are trying to retrieve said values via assigning a cube view of them as your data source. The data source has zero suppression ON which means the non fed cells won't show up.
You can certainly still get the values in TI; by a specific cellgetn or source view with zero suppression and skip rule values turned off for example.
Of course that can and will significantly increase processing time so you need to work out a happy medium.
