Schedule a Cube Refresh

You can subscribe an individual report or document to a cube refresh. This subscription allows the report or document to be run as quickly as possible using the latest available data, without having to query the data warehouse.

This subscription is a good candidate for event-triggered schedules.

About Cube Refresh Subscriptions

Cube update subscriptions execute a cube against the data warehouse. This retrieves the most recent information for the cube and then publishes it. The subscription does not update the caches for reports that use the cube.

To subscribe a report or document to a cube refresh

1. On the Home screen, select My Subscription.
2. For the Intelligent Cube that you want to refresh, click the subscription icon.
3. Under Cube Update, click Cube Update. The Subscribe to Cube /Cache Update dialog box opens.
4. In the Name field, type the name of the subscription. The default name is the name of the report/document and the date and time the subscription is created.
5. From the Schedule drop-down list, select a schedule to control how often the subscription occurs. You can create new schedules in the MicroStrategy Developer Schedule Manager. For steps, see the Scheduling Jobs and Administrative Tasks chapter in the System Administration Help.
6. To execute the report or document immediately when the subscription is saved, select the Run subscription immediately checkbox.
7. To end the subscription on a specific date, expand Advanced Options, select the Do not deliver after checkbox, and select the date from the drop-down calendar.
8. To send a notification when the subscription executes and the cache is updated, select the Send notification to email address checkbox. Then from the To drop-down list, select the email address. If the email address is not in the list, click Send to new address to specify a new email address.
9. Click OK.
10. To verify that you are subscribed to the cube refresh, at the top of the page, click the MicroStrategy icon , then select My Subscriptions. A list of the items to which you are subscribed is displayed.
