Improving Performance with Feeders

This section examines feeders, a feature of IBM® Cognos® TM1® rules that can greatly enhance performance.

Rules are a flexible and powerful tool for working with multiple cubes of different dimensionality. However, the flexibility and power come with a cost -- decreased consolidation speed.

Feeders allow you to restore fast consolidation when using rules, but require a bit of specialized knowledge and careful implementation. This section provides you with the knowledge you need to improve the performance of your TM1 applications that use rules.
