pivotcube vcl question

[tasosbull]

I want to add a dimension at runtime to a map component
that loads and saves its data to a file.
Is this possible?

What you mean as add dimension? Place it to row or column or just add new, unknown dimension?

Ok let me explain what i want to do.
I have a file that describes the fact table , dimensions , and measures.
My app uses this file to setup a cube at runtime
So i create my datasets, add my dimensions and measures of cube on the
fly.
I save my cube data to a file, and map data to another one
So when user need a view i load cube from cube file and map from mapfile.
Only on refresh i recreate the cube from the initial file.
The problem is when i change the initial file adding new dimensions.
Then the map file is out of sync with the new created cube.
Thanks for your reply

You are right, the map became incompatible with cube if you change cube config.
You may try to save map to XML file instead of binary file and fix XML file if you change cube configuration (add new dimension, remove unexisted dimension).
But you need to save map without dimension items (parameter SaveDimensionData = False). Otherwise synchronization may became too complex if even possible.
