ICalcBlock.StubOut

Syntax

StubOut: IVariableStub;

None;

Description

The StubOut property determines the data consumer, to which formula calculation result is to be recorded.

Example

Executing the example requires that the repository contains a calculation algorithm with the ALGORITHM identifier and two standard cubes with the CUBE and SOURCE_CUBE identifiers. The calculation algorithm should contain a calculation block, the cubes should contain calendar dimensions.

Add a link to the Calculation Algorithm Core custom assembly contained in the Calculation Algorithms component, and links to the Algo, Cubes, Metabase system assemblies.

End Sub UserProc;

Not provisioned.

After executing the example, standard cubes are set as data source and data consumer for the calculation block. Calendar dimensions will be used as regular dimensions. A link by attribute identifiers is set up for all data source and data consumer dimensions if it not used in formulas.
