Is it mandatory to use hypercube in mashup? if not why hypercube is used for? Also if my dashboard is refreshing after every 2 hours, do we need to code something in mashup to bring the updated data?
Is hypercube related to bringing updated data in mashup?
I would not say it's mandatory to have a deep knowledge of hypercubes to use a mashup.
One use case of utilizing hypercubes would be to use the data of a Qlik Sense application in a Custom Visualization (non-native Qlik object type) or a type of on-the-fly visualization. I would say a majority of mashup developers do not interact directly with a hypercube and instead are referencing already created objects within a Qlik Sense application.
One of the first steps in a mashup is to connect with an established Qlik Sense app. A mashup will utilize the existing data model of that Qlik Sense app. So if the app is refreshed every two hours, the mashup using that app is also refreshed.
