10.2.2 FP3 - auto SKIPCHECK

Hi
Good to know, if you upgrade to at least FP3 in 10.2.2, a rux file with a default SKIPCHECK is automatically created for all cubes.
We had a model with many cubes without skipcheck and feeders and it caused embarrassing issues on the morning after the upgrade....

This relates to Performance Modler not TM1 server (which does not meddle with adding rules where there aren't any).

All standard cubes and control cubes will have a rule file (.rux) added if one is not present, and if rules exist already, they will be modified to include:
#Region System
FEEDSTRINGS;
SKIPCHECK;
#EndRegion
these were added for us, without opening the rules within PM; not sure if they were added when we first opened PM or earlier during the upgrade
anyway, smth which is good to be aware of...

The best practise is to use PM only for editing applications.
PM adds SKIPCHECKs to rules unpredictably. For example, if you edit a dimension in PM, PM can add SKIPCHECKs to all the cubes containing this dimension.
Btw, if you double click a cube in PM, you can select "No" in "Require feeding of rule derived cells" option. But PM will still add "FEEDSRTINGS" to all the rules.

We found this issue occurred when updating a TM1 application but only in FP4 and it is apparently fixed in FP5

You should be able to comment out the feedstrings after it is created the first time and PM will respect the comment. This was a fix we had them put in place since it bit us hard when trying to work with PM and the metrics integration. The key is to comment it out and not just remove it.
