About Stargate views

A Stargate view is different from a TM1 view object. The Stargate view contains only the data for a defined section of a cube, and does not contain the formatting information and browser settings that are in a view object.

A Stargate view that TM1 creates when you browse a cube in the Cube Viewer or In-Spreadsheet Browser contains only the data defined by the current title elements and row and column subsets.

TM1 stores a Stargate view when you access a view that takes longer to retrieve than the threshold defined by the VMT property in the }CubeProperties control cube. (If a VMT value is not explicitly defined, a Stargate view is generated when a view takes longer than five seconds. This is the default threshold when VMT is not specified in the }CubeProperties control cube.)

A Stargate view persists in memory only as long as the browser view from which it originates remains unchanged. When you recalculate the browser view, TM1 creates a new Stargate view based on the recalculated view and replaces the existing Stargate view in memory. When you close the browser view, TM1 removes the Stargate view from memory.
