Hi,
I have data slices on my real-time cubes to lock all past periods from changes. I do that my making use of an Exit Variable, which calculates a range from 001.2010 to current period -1.
I have a process in which I need to overwrite planned sales budgets in the real-time cube with actual sales budgets data from the non-real-time cube for all past period. I will do that my running a copy planning function at the end of every week. For the copy function to work I need the data slices to be inactivate.
My Questions:
1. Is there a way to create a data slice, say type exit, which is intelligent enough to allow execution of a planning function with a specific name ? This
solution would be perfect because then I won't have to activate or deactivate data slices !!! If yes, I'd like to understand how..
2. If there is no solution here, which function module do I need to use to activate / de-activate data slices. Is it possible to deactivate the data slice and then executing the planning function from within the same process chain? Must I add a wait for a few secs or something between de-activating the dataslice and executing the planning function.
Regards,
