Data source of cubes

Data in a cube can be inserted by various sources. Mainly there are four sources-

1. Another cube

Data can be loaded through another cube. For data transfer d-links can be created mapping the fields which are to be mapped.


2. Admin links

These links are used to transfer data between cubes of different applications. They are created and managed in CAC under planning administration domain.


3. System links

These links are pull links and are run under Get Data functionality. These are used by users to pull data into web contributor.


4. Import data

When you're not able to find the data from any of the source above try finding it in import data folder under application model in CAC.
