Deleting persistent feeders

Learn how to delete persistent feeders on a cube.

Once feeders have been applied to a cell, they remain until they are manually deleted. This is true even if the feeder statement applied to the cell is removed or modified. Reprocessing feeder statements does not remove existing feeders, it only adds new feeders.

You can remove feeders on a cube by using the cube unload feature. To unload a cube, ensure that you are in edit mode. Right-click on the cube you want to unload in the data tree, and then click Unload cube. The cube unload feature only removes feeders on a cube that is being unloaded. It does not unload feeders that are generated in other cubes based on feeder statements in the cube being unloaded.

You can also remove feeders using the DeleteAllPersistentFeeders TurboIntegrator function. This can be done by running a Turbo Integrator process with the DeleteAllPersistentFeeders TurboIntegrator function before restarting the server. The PersistentFeeders parameter must be set to =T.

Note: Removing and reprocessing feeders is only necessary when feeder statements have changed, feeder statements are conditional and the condition has changed, or data has been unloaded from a cube. In many use cases it is not productive to consistently remove feeders and reprocess feeder statements.
