Chapter 2. IBM Cognos Dynamic Cubes architecture 25
The data caches of the different instances of a cube are not synchronized, so if a user
executes a query on one machine and another, query response can fluctuate.
The underlying database might encounter additional load because each instance of a
cube is required to load data independently of the other node.
The dispatcher is not knowledgeable of dynamic cubes, therefore it does not account for
whether a cube is available under a particular dispatcher when dispatching a request for
execution. Consequently, extra steps are required to ensure cubes are taken on and off
line on individual dispatchers to ensure users do not encounter error messages to the
effect that a cube is unavailable. ...
