    AddCubeDependency function for IBM Planning Analytics (TM1)

      AddCubeDependency establishes cube dependency, triggered by a TurboIntegrator process. This function is a preemptive feature to prevent a potential lock on the TM1 Server during the system’s use, therefore the best time to use this function is when the server starts up. For reference, a lock occurs when cube dependencies are established through a rule, and the TM1 Server initiates a ‘write’ lock that prevents access to cubes until the server understands the dependency between cubes.

      Learn how to use the AddCubeDependency to establish cube dependency between the General Ledger and dependent cubes.

      Where can the AddCubeDependency function be used?

      TurboIntegrator

        Which TM1 Server version is the AddCubeDependency function available for?

        Version 11 and 12

          What is the syntax for AddCubeDependency?

          AddCubeDependency(‘CubeA’,’CubeB’)

          • CubeA = Name of the base cube​
          • CubeB = Name of the dependent cube. ​

            Here, Cube B relies on a rule that is dependent on Cube A.

          • AddCubeDependency = Establish cube dependency manually
          • CellGetN = Retrieves a numeric value from a cube cell.
          • CellGetS = Retrieves a string value from a cube cell.
          • CellIncrementN = Increases a numeric value by a value.
