Dynamic Data Management

Workspace assembly files manage the retrieval and optional write-back of data between the external source and the data unit defined by the dynamic cube dimensions.

Workspace Assembly Dynamic Data

The Service Factory file references the DynamicData component. It initializes a class for a dynamic cube retrieval of data from a source system. Refer to the following example.

When designing a DynamicData workspace assembly class file, consider the following three methods:

  • Triggering and refresh time-stamp controls. See Frequency and Trigger.

  • ReadDynamicDataUnitData -- returns a data unit object

  • SaveDynamicDataCells -- optional method to manage the write-back of numeric and text data to a source

ReadDynamicDataUnitData and SaveDynamicDataCells are further explained in the following sections.
