Unpublishing an Intelligent Cube

You can remove a published Intelligent Cube so that its data is no longer accessible by reports. This action does not delete the Intelligent Cube object saved in a MicroStrategy project, it only removes the Intelligent Cube from the Intelligent Cube Monitor.

Unpublishing an Intelligent Cube prevents reports that access an Intelligent Cube from being able to load the Intelligent Cube into Intelligence Server memory. This gives you more administrative control of when to make an Intelligent Cube available to reports. However, be aware that unpublishing an Intelligent Cube means that any reports that access the Intelligent Cube cannot be executed.

This same administrative control can be enforced by de-activating an Intelligent Cube. De-activating an Intelligent Cube saves the Intelligent Cube to secondary storage, such as a hard disk. When you re-activate the Intelligent Cube, the copy in secondary storage is loaded back into Intelligence Server memory. This option is ideal when an Intelligent Cube should not be used for some length of time, but after that should be available again in its current form. For information on de-activating an Intelligent Cube, see the System Administration Help.
