The DateTime plugin does not rely on any = data source in itself. It create= s a dataset with a single column of dates (and time stamps). This dataset c= an be useful when you need a DateTime dimension in your cube.
The= DateTime plugin is an 'Other' data source.
Enter a unique name for this data source.= This is the name of the data source as it will appear in the Data Sources = list in TARGIT Data Discovery.
If 'Use Dynamic Start Date' is checked, y= ou will get options to enter a dynamic start date such as 1 year ago, 3 mon= ths back or last 30 days. All these options are relative to today's date.= p>
Examples: If today is April 14 2020, then= 'last 1 years' will give a start date April 14 2019; 'last 3 months' will = give a start date January 14 2020; 'last 30 days' will give a start date Ma= rch 15 2020.
If 'Use Dynamic Start Date' is unchecked,= you will get an option to select a specific start date.
If 'Use today's date for every upda= te' is checked, the end date of your data range will always be today's date= - provided that the DateTime plugin i scheduled to run every day! Otherwis= e it will be the date of the last time the plugin was run.
If 'Use today's date for every update' is= unchecked, you will get an option to select a specific end date.
If unchecked, each entry in the DateTime = dataset will be a full date (with a 00:00:00 time stamp).
If checked, you will get an option provid= e an interval by hours, minutes or seconds. E.g., if you select an interval= of 4 hours, each date in the dataset will be represented with a time stamp= of 00:00:00, 04:00:00, 08:00:00 etc. as in the example below.
Note: To use the time stamp information f= or anything useful when you design dashboards, you will need to look into t= he .raw Dimension folder in the TARGIT client. Look for the 'Date time.raw'= dimension.
With this option you can enter a time sta= mp into the 'Update time' field. The time stamp must be in the format hh:MM= :ss.
E.g., if you enter '10:45:00', each of th= e dates in the dataset will be time stamped with '10:45:00'.
