To work with the tool in Foresight Analytics Platform 10, use the new interface.

Adding Parameters

Algorithm parameters enable the user to dynamically control linked block calculation and algorithm calculation period.

Calculation algorithm parameters can be added on the Parameters tab in the Calculation Algorithm Parameters dialog box:

Open the dialog box

To set parameter values that will be used on algorithm calculation, use the parameters panel. The order of parameters display on this panel matches with the order of parameters on the Parameters tab in the Calculation Algorithm Parameters dialog box.

If a calculation algorithm is located in a container or business application, the Parameters tab displays the Use Repository Objects checkbox. The checkbox is deselected by default, and when adding a parameter, one can use as its properties only the repository objects contained in the corresponding container or business application. To use any repository objects as parameter properties, select the Use Repository Objects checkbox.

Setting Up Parameter

A parameter can be set up in the Object Parameter Properties dialog box:

Specify:

NOTE. Parameter type can be changed only on creating a parameter.

NOTE. After selecting the cube the Dictionary drop-down list will contain only the dictionaries included in the selected cube.

If the dictionary is not displayed in the controlling or controlled dimensions list but is included in the cube, dictionary selection or alternative hierarchy is used as parameters values. This dictionary can be selected in the Dictionary drop-down list without specifying the cube in the Source drop-down list.

If the dictionary is displayed in the controlling or controlled dimensions list, observe the general order of adding calculation algorithm parameters to ensure correct displaying of dictionary element set depending on the configured management type:

    1. Parameters that manage cube parameters.

    2. Parameters based on cube controlling dimensions. Element selection should be set for each dimension.

    3. Parameters based on cube controlled dimensions. Elements of controlled dimensions depend on the controlling dimension element selection.

NOTE. If a cube is selected in the Source drop-down list, the Dictionary drop-down list displays only the dictionaries contained in the selected cube.

NOTE. If a link with cube parameter is set for the parameter on the parameters panel, parameter's selection will be reset on the parameters panel if the default parameter value changes.
