RulesOverwriteCellsOnLoad

Prevents cells from being overwritten on server load in rule-derived data.

Parameter type: optional, static

During the processing of feeders for a cube, a cube's value can be wiped out if there is a rule for that cell. Once the cube which had a cell wiped out is saved, the value is gone so the action has no effect on the cube. However, if the rule is edited but the cube is not subsequently modified, the cube is not saved to disk. In that case, real cell values may be wiped out when the rules run.

The RulesOverwriteCellsOnLoad parameter can be used to prevent the zeroing out action after a rule is edited.

If you are changing rules and the rules may, due to various edits, cause some cells which have data to become rule-derived, add RulesOverwriteCellsOnLoad=F to the configuration file.

If this parameter is set to True or is not present, whenever the server loads, rule-derived cells are wiped to zero. The data value in those cells is lost even if the rule is subsequently changed so that the cell is no longer rule-derived.

By default this parameter is not present in the configuration file or is set to True.
