Update Interval

The following properties define the update interval of a dimension or measure.

• UpdatePeriodInterval (for a dimension)

  The update period interval is a time interval for which dimension data has to be refreshed during the dimension refresh. The minimum update period is 1 minute and the maximum update period is 366 days. The update period must be equal to or more than the dimension refresh rate.

• UpdatePeriod (for a measure)

  The update period is a time interval for which measure data has to be refreshed during the measure refresh. The minimum update period is 1 minute and the maximum update period is 366 days. The update period must be equal to or more than the measure refresh rate.

• UpdatePeriodUnit (both dimensions and measures)

  The unit of time for the update period. It can be one of the following values: Minute, Hour, Day, Week, or Month.

The following dimension example demonstrates the update period interval configured at 1 day:

"UpdatePeriodInterval": 1,

"UpdatePeriodUnit": "Day",

The following measure example demonstrates the update period configured at 1 day:

"UpdatePeriod": 1,

"UpdatePeriodUnit": "Day",
