PAW Turbo Integrator (TI)

Processes that use Process/source views that were created in the Rich Tier environment error out or don't load data properly because the current functionality skips Consolidated and Rule calculated values by default. This requires the view to be modified (clear the MDX and save as a native view) as well as code to be added to all process to over ride these default settings.

The TI interface does not have an option for building a sources view. This was in the product since it's inception. Please update the interface to include and option to create a view and select whether you want to Skip consolidated values, Skip rule calculated values or Skip zero/blank cells. See attached - these options/ functionality/interface is present when exporting a cube view so it would be great to add to TI. Regarding Exporting a cube view, why can't it be saved ?

Happy to get on a call to discuss this further if needed.

    Not sure why it took so long to get a response. :) I know that. The point is the PAW environment should have options to skip Rules, Consolidations, or suppress zeroes.

    This idea is not under consideration. There is a very simple solution to the problem being described. The ViewExtractSkip TI functions can be used in the prolog of the process to control the extract behavior when the view is used as a data source.
