2.0.09 was supposed to allow the use of ViewZeroOut again MDX views. As mentioned in some other threads, ViewZeroOut was virtually useless if leaf elements existed in alternate hierarchies but not the base dimname:dimname. I was hoping for a resolution of this issue with ViewZeroOut against MDX subsets.

Admittedly, this is my first attempt at, but it is not working. Here is the MDX:

Code: Select all

SELECT
    {[Version].[Active_03]}  ON COLUMNS,   
    {[Organization].[Mapping].[Mapping]} * 
    {[HR Level].[Mapping].[Mapping]} * 
    TM1SubsetToSet( [Fiscal Period], "tmp_sys.53.Factor Loading_07160310_98051") * 
    {[lookup.Mapping Measure].[53Year].[tmp_sys.53.Factor Loading_07160310_98051c]}  ON ROWS 
FROM [lookup.Mapping]

This view renders with no problem in PAW or ARC (like ARC! well, except for the text editor, but I'm hardcore on Notepad++). However, when executing the ViewZeroOut against this view, this message pops up:

Code: Select all

Error: Prolog procedure line (4): Invalid key: Dimension Name: "Organization", Element Name (Key): "Mapping"

Yes, the [Mapping] element exists in the alternate hierarchy [Mapping] on the organization dimension.

Looks like ViewZeroOut still only works only with elements in the base hierarchy? Please tell me there is something to this I am missing.

And before someone chimes in about it, yes, we use leaf elements in alternate hierarchies that are not in the base hierarchy and the only reason we have to put them in the base is because of functions like ViewZeroOut not working with alternate hierarchies.

Use the ViewZeroOut TurboIntegrator function on MDX views (https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgece ... pport.html) or other features that were added in 2.0.9.

On a related note, PAW 2.0.48 has been released today:

Wim, saw this post and I wonder if the MDX query may be the issue. I'll fiddle with it some more.

Has anyone used ViewZeroOut against a view created by MDX?

It is failing and complaining that the element in the hierarchy it needs cannot be found. It is the hierarchy element, not the hierarchy it is complaining cannot be found, as I changed the element name to determine exactly what it was complaining about.

Code: Select all

Error: Prolog procedure line (4): Invalid key: Dimension Name: "Organization", Element Name (Key): "MappingTest"

The view is created as a permanent view renders after the process executes without a problem. Setup another TI to execute manually after the process completes and same failure.

If anyone is doing this, would like to know and what the MDX is.

This is exactly I am looking for. Anyone got solution for this??

FWIW, and I have not had time to test, we think it may be centered around the measure dimension elements being cleared cannot be in an alternate hierarchy.
