Add new Characteristic value in IP Cube (new line)

261 Views

Experts,

I am faced with a quite simple need but so far, haven't seen found a solution: let's say we start from an Empty IP cube, and we open an Input-Ready query on this cube... how to add any record to it? It appears that in IP, there is no way to create a new line from scratch, the characterstic value you want to use for the line must already exist in the cube or it won't be accepted.

The source of this need is this paper found online: [IP Tip & tricks|http://www.tli-usa.com/download/Top5_IP_tips&tricks.pdf], where they propose a simple trick to add comments in a IP Web application. The conversion routine was no problem, but even if the comment is in the Master Data of the characterstic, as a key, there is no way to use it since it's not part of the transaction data of the cube. How is this trick even supposed to work?

Thanks for your help.

Regards,

Guillaume
