Checking Feeders

If a cube has a rule attached that uses SKIPCHECK and FEEDERS, you can use the Rules Tracer to make sure that the components of consolidations are properly fed.

You can check feeders ONLY from a consolidated cell; the Check Feeders option is not available from leaf cells.

Follow the steps below to check feeders.

Procedure

  1. In the Cube Viewer, right-click the consolidated cell you want to check.
  2. Select Check Feeders.

    The Rules Tracer window opens. This window contains two panes.

    The top pane displays the definition of the current cell (consolidation) location.

    The bottom pane displays all components of the consolidation that are not properly fed.

    If the bottom pane is empty, the consolidation is fed properly and cubes values are accurate.

    If the bottom pane displays components of the consolidation, you must edit the rule associated with the current cube to contain FEEDERS statements that feed all the listed
