Using the Rules Tracer

IBM® Cognos® TM1® provides a tool called the Rules Tracer to assist in the development and debugging of rules.

The Rules Tracer lets you:

  • Trace calculations, to ensure that rules are being assigned to selected cells and calculated properly, or to trace the path of consolidated elements
  • Trace feeders, to ensure that selected leaf cells are feeding other cells properly
  • Check feeders, to ensure that the children of a selected consolidated cell are fed properly

The Rules Tracer is available only in the Cube Viewer. You cannot trace rules from the In-Spreadsheet Browser or slice worksheets.
