Open the cube’s rules
Open the relevant cube in the Modeling Workbench and its rules editor. Check that you are working on the correct cube.
IBM PLANNING ANALYTICS · RULES & FEEDERS
In Planning Analytics Workspace, use the “Process feeders” button to reprocess a cube’s feeders without starting a separate TI process.
Open the rules for the relevant cube and select Process feeders at the top right. Confirm the runtime warning. The button calls CubeProcessFeeders for that cube.
Available from PAW 2.1.19 · also in the 3.1.6 release branch
Schreibst du Rules in Planning Analytics? Dann weißt du ja, was Feeder sind. Nach Rule-Anpassungen müssen oftmals die Feeder neu berechnet werden. Bisher musste die Neuberechnung der Feeder immer per Prozess angestoßen werden. Das hat man mit dem Prozessbefehl CubeProcessFeeders gemacht. Für diese Neuberechnung der Feeder gibt es ab Version 2.1.19 jetzt einen eigenen Button im Rule-Editor. Diese und noch zwei weitere Neuerungen habe ich in einem kurzen Onepager zusammengefasst.
Der Link dazu ist in der Videobeschreibung. Den Process-Feeder-Button findest du so: Öffne dazu den Rule-Editor. Hier habe ich eine einfache Rule zur Berechnung meiner Umsätze. Hier gibt es jetzt ein Symbol, das etwa so aussieht wie ein RSS-Symbol. Wenn du hier daraufklickst, werden die Feeder im Hintergrund direkt neu berechnet. Du sparst dir also zukünftig das Ausführen eines eigenen Prozesses zum Setzen der Feeder.
If you write rules in Planning Analytics, you will be familiar with feeders. After changing a rule, feeders often need to be processed again. Previously, this had to be triggered by a process using the CubeProcessFeeders function. From version 2.1.19, there is a dedicated option for this in the rules editor. I have summarised this and two other enhancements in a short one-page guide.
The link is in the video description. To find the Process feeders option, open the rules editor. In this example, I have a simple rule that calculates revenue. You will now see an icon that looks similar to an RSS symbol. Click it to process the feeders directly in the background. You no longer need to run a separate process for this task.
STEP BY STEP
Open the relevant cube in the Modeling Workbench and its rules editor. Check that you are working on the correct cube.
Select “Process feeders” at the top right. In the video, its icon resembles an RSS symbol.
Confirm the processing-time warning. Wait for the success message, then check the relevant values and consolidations in your cube view.
WHAT THE BUTTON DOES
Reprocessing adds feeders. It does not remove existing feeders, even if you have changed the feeder statement that created them.
A success message confirms the processing run. Check your expected results to assess whether the rules and feeders are correct.
Duration depends on the model. The cube may be unavailable to other users during processing. Coordinate larger runs accordingly.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Not for the manual action in the rules editor. CubeProcessFeeders remains relevant in TI processes for automated workflows.
No. Saving edited rules normally processes feeders already. Check the reason for an additional run.
Check your PAW version and that you have opened the cube’s rules editor. IBM lists the feature from PAW 2.1.19 and 3.1.6.
