}bedrock.cube.clone

Description

This process replicates an existing cube. It can include data & rules too.

Use Case: Intended for development/prototyping.

1. Take a snapshot of cube data copying all rules to values.
2. Take an exact copy of a cube in a "one click action" as a starting point for prototyping rule changes or developing new features.

Note:

• There are parameter options to include data (pIncludeData) and rules (pIncludeRules) with the creation of the cube.
• If the source cube (pSrcCube) is left blank or doesn't exist in the model, process will terminate withoud doing anything.
• If the target cube (pTgtCube) already exists in the model, process will terminate withoud doing anything.
• If the target cube is left blank or is the same as the source cube the cloned cube will inherit the source cube name with "_Clone" appended.
• If the source cube data only needs to be partially copied, then the pFilter parameter should be entered otherwise all other parameters can be left as is.
• In productive systems this process may be called internally by other processes (}bedrock.cube.data.copy, }bedrock.cube.data.copy.intercube) if copying data via intermediate cloned cube.
