Hi,

Can't you just do a resident load from the fact table to get all possible values for each field?

A load 'distinct' should work

Hi,

If you have 4 reduction fields then you have to load 4 times:

LOAD DISTINCT

     COMPA & '|<ANY>|<ANY>|<ANY>' as %AuthKey,

     COMPA & '|' & COMPB & '|' & COMPC & '|' & COMPD    as %FactKey

RESIDENT FACT;

LOAD DISTINCT

     '<ANY>|' & COMPB & '|<ANY>|<ANY>' as %AuthKey,

     COMPA & '|' & COMPB & '|' & COMPC & '|' & COMPD    as %FactKey

RESIDENT FACT;

LOAD DISTINCT

     '<ANY>|<ANY>|' & COMPC & '|<ANY>' as %AuthKey,

    COMPA & '|' & COMPB & '|' & COMPC & '|' & COMPD    as %FactKey

RESIDENT FACT;

LOAD DISTINCT

     '<ANY>|<ANY>|<ANY>|' & COMPD as %AuthKey,

     COMPA & '|' & COMPB & '|' & COMPC & '|' & COMPD    as %FactKey

RESIDENT FACT;

And you create %FactKey on the fact table as well to do the linkage.

You can add a WHERE clause to each loading as well to reduce the size of the Authorisation bridge table:

LOAD DISTINCT

     COMPA & '|<ANY>|<ANY>|<ANY>' as %AuthKey,

     COMPA & '|' & COMPB & '|' & COMPC & '|' & COMPD    as %FactKey

RESIDENT FACT WHERE NOT ISNULL(COMPA);

LOAD DISTINCT

     '<ANY>|' & COMPB & '|<ANY>|<ANY>' as %AuthKey,

     COMPA & '|' & COMPB & '|' & COMPC & '|' & COMPD    as %FactKey

RESIDENT FACT WHERE NOT ISNULL(COMPB);

LOAD DISTINCT

     '<ANY>|<ANY>|' & COMPC & '|<ANY>' as %AuthKey,

    COMPA & '|' & COMPB & '|' & COMPC & '|' & COMPD    as %FactKey

RESIDENT FACT WHERE NOT ISNULL(COMPC);

LOAD DISTINCT

     '<ANY>|<ANY>|<ANY>|' & COMPD as %AuthKey,

     COMPA & '|' & COMPB & '|' & COMPC & '|' & COMPD    as %FactKey

RESIDENT FACT WHERE NOT ISNULL(COMPD);

OK.

so only 4 combinations?

'<ANY>|<ANY>|<ANY>|<ANY>' is not there?
