What is Shared Mode and How Does it Work?
You application may have Shared Mode enabled. There are two application modes; non-shared and shared. In shared mode, your application will behave differently then when in non-shared mode.
Application Behavior in Shared Mode
Here is an example of how the application behaves in shared mode. Let’s say data is posted from a Data Load Rule and a Planning template to the same account. The Data Load Rule posts $100 while the Planning template posts $120. The Data Load Rule post hits the database first followed by the Planning template post. The result is that the $100 is overwritten by the latest post of $120 in the database. Now, if a user runs a report, the data from the latest database commit will display. In this case, the data posted from the Planning template ($120) will be displayed.
Application Behavior in Non-Shared Mode
Here is an example of how the application behaves in non-shared mode. Let’s say data is posted from a Data Load Rule and a Planning template to the same account. The Data Load Rule posts $100 while the Planning template posts $120. The Data Load Rule post hits the database first followed by the Planning template post. Now, if a user runs a report, the data will aggregate and display from the both posts. This means that when a user runs a report the report will display ($100 + $120) a total of $220.
What is Shared Mode Available For
Shared Mode is currently available for the Global Template Single Copy template, the Allocation template, and Budget and Forecast scenarios.
