Do we need feeders

Hi All,
We are having a cube with four dimensions.
Rule:
['elem1','elem2']=N:
IF(DB('Cube1',!dim1,!dim2,!dim3,'element')@<>'Y',0,1);
There is a feeder written in existing code, but my feeling is "do we really need to write feeder for above rule?"
Can someone please share info regarding feeder for above rule?
Regards,
Deepak Jain

Surely it is you who should answer that question based on your knowledge of the model which you are not sharing here...
Do you need the rule-calculated numbers to consolidate? Do you need to see them in zero-suppressed views? Do you need to use the calculations in zero-suppressed data sources (e.g. exporting data to a file)? If the answer to at least one of these questions is yes then you do need to feed that rule. How to feed it smartly and not overfeed is another matter altogether.

Hi qml,
Based on questions, yes I will have to feed them.
Is it good to go with conditional feeders for rules written in below manner?
['elem1','elem2']=N:
IF(DB('Cube1',!dim1,!dim2,!dim3,'element')@<>'Y',0,1);
If you have any other suggestions please share.
Regards,
Deepak Jain

Yes, a conditional feeder will do.

You definitely can, as Wim suggested. However, your question is too generic.... else you could look at avoiding conditional feeding by different structure/rule design
