Any number of incube time dimensions can be created in a configuration. Incube time dimensions can be combined with time dimensions with dimension table in the analysis and behave in the same way. The difference from time dimensions with a dimension table lies exclusively in the different memory performance. The dimension values for incube time dimensions are stored directly in the process cubes or function cubes. This increases the efficiency of the Measure calculator. However, the memory performance of incube time dimensions is linked to a significantly higher memory requirement.
In terms of their definition, incube time dimensions differ from time dimensions with dimension table in the following ways:
For better differentiation, the name of the dimension (name) should begin with the prefix IC_.
You should define the following time dimensions as incube time dimensions:
Warning
Importing fixed dimension values (using rundimdata) is not possible for incube time dimensions.
