Empty rules file and sparsity alogrithm

[BariAbdul]

I have come across interesting comment " Even an empty rule file switches sparsity algorithm off?" and it is emphatically written as Yes.But on the similar vein when although feeders are written but skip check is forgotten, the feeders are ignored silently and rules are being evaluated for every cell. I am sorry ,to me it seems like apparent contradiction. Appreciate if Gurus can shed some valuable insights. Thanks.

Where's the contradiction? If you have a rule that does not include

Code: Select all

SKIPCHECK;

then the sparcity alogorithm will be turned off, meaning every cell is going to be evaluated regardless of whatever else you put in the rules.

Thanks Tomok. My bad ,I was thinking "even an empty rule file switches sparsity algorithm on". Thanks again for the clarification.

This was removed in one of the (TM1 10.2.2 - PA 2.0) versions (I don't remember in which one). In PA 2.0, the empty rule does not turn off the sparsity algorithm
