In this chapter, we have discussed the basics of the Cognos TM1 supported drill-through that you will need to know and be comfortable with before taking the current IBM Cognos TM1 Developer (Test COG-310) certification exam. We have also looked at some code examples.
In the next chapter, we will cover the definition, purpose, and use of virtual and lookup cubes in Cognos TM1.
There are some important points which you must know about drill-through:
The current certification exam assigns a weightage of 5 percent to the drill-through topic.
To implement a TM1 drill-through, you can simply use one or more drill TurboIntegrator (TI) processes and one or more drill rules to associate a data intersection point (a cell) with detailed or related data.
The components that make up the drill-through feature in Cognos TM1 are the drill process and the drill assignment rule.
The drill processes that you create will define the detailed or related data that you want to assign to the drill...
