Read/Write Cube Collections

Use read/write cube collections to load data from the database, receive user input, and persist data back to the database. For the main record, you can select any record type except derived/work records.

Note:

The analytic type that you use with the analytic model must contain the records that you map to read/write cube collections.

See Purpose of Analytic Type Definitions, Relationship of Record Attributes to Data Caching Behavior.

The following table indicates which data cube types are allowed in a read/write cube collection.

Data Cube Type	Allowed in Read/Write Cube Collection?
Input data cubes	Yes
Calculation data cubes	Yes Note: Initial data values for calculation data cubes are loaded from the database. Calculated values are written back to the database.
Association data cubes	Yes
Virtual data cubes	No
