Hi,
We are trying to implement section access in our existing apps to open up the dashboard to our customers.
See attached qvw for sample data model we are having. The username/password is a/123.
As seen in the data model, we have bridge table which contains two keys CA_ID and CO_ID. In the example, we are trying to limit the countries through section access. Reduction field is CO_ID, which connects to country table and CA_ID which connects Fact table.
The solution works well and rows in Dim1 are also reduced to three rows for country login a (USA ) to values 1,9,10 .
Now comes the twist, we only discovered later on that there is another relationship between country and dim1 i.e. commented out table dim1_bridge. For USA there are only be 2 possible values for Dim1 i.e. Phone & Laptop (DK1, 1 & 9).
If i include the commented table (dim1_bridge), then I run into circular loop.
Can anybody suggest a data modelling solution for above problem, I need to reduce the Dim 1 table, according to dim1_bridge table such that user a does not see headphone in dim1 listbox, even though fact table may still contains the row linking CA_ID 1 to DK1 10 after reduction.
