About configuring dynamic sourcing

To enable reports to dynamically connect to an Intelligent Cube for their data requirements, you must define various aspects of the MicroStrategy system to be enabled for dynamic sourcing.

In general, you must enable projects, reports, and Intelligent Cubes for dynamic sourcing. Depending on the objects available in or accessed by the reports and Intelligent Cubes, you may also need to define other objects as available for dynamic sourcing. The sections listed below describe the requirements and considerations for configuring dynamic sourcing for various aspects of the MicroStrategy system:

• Enabling or disabling dynamic sourcing for projects

• Enabling or disabling dynamic sourcing for reports

• Enabling dynamic sourcing for Intelligent Cubes

• Disabling dynamic sourcing for attributes

• Supporting filtering on attributes for dynamic sourcing

• Disabling dynamic sourcing for metrics

• Disabling dynamic sourcing for aggregate tables

• For information on defining default dynamic sourcing behavior for reports, Intelligent Cubes, attributes, metrics, and aggregate tables, see Accessing the dynamic sourcing VLDB properties for a project.
