Did you know that dimensions exist within IBM Planning Analytics that display your model’s public subsets?
A dimension called }Subsets_<Dimension Name> is automatically created when a dimension is created. The elements of this new dimension are dynamically updated as permanent public subsets are created and destroyed (note: the creation of temporary subsets does not update this dimension).
These control dimensions allow for easy access to public subsets within TurboIntegrator processes. In addition, the subset control dimensions can be accessed via Architect and Planning Analytics for Excel (PAx).
To access subset control dimensions via Architect:
- Make sure “Display Control Objects” is enabled
2. Navigate to “Dimensions” and scroll down until you reach “}Subsets_<Dimension Name>”
To access via Planning Analytics for Excel:
- On the task pane, make sure “Show Control Objects” and “Show Dimensions” are both enabled
2. Navigate to “Dimensions” and scroll down until you reach “}Subsets_<Dimension Name>”
This feature gives you an easy approach to see (and loop through) your public subsets without having to create scripts that reference Windows folders.
