database diagram: visualize your data model

Hi, i've setup a MDW layer with proper relations between tables. At this point I wanted to create a relation diagriam to visualise to my client the relation between his entities. my tool of choice was SQL Management Studio. Only then i've realised that TimeXtender only create DW_Id as physical primary key and the relations between tables are managed internally Is there a way in TimeXtender to visualize the relations between the tables? I've already put my vote here

Many to many Relations and conditional joins

Hi,I am trying to build a transformation process in TX based on the following SQL code.------------------------------------------SELECT distinct[BusinessEntityID],B.MonthKey,[StartDate],[EndDate],[DepartmentName]FROM [TX_DSA].[dbo].[EmployeeDepartmentHistory] Ajoin dbo.Calendar B ON B.Date >= A.StartDatewhere b.DateValue >= a.StartDate AND (a.EndDate is null or a.EndDate <= b.DateValue)----------------------------------------------------I want intentionally to expand the grain of table A. I tried different Joins and conditional lookups but I just can't reproduce the output.How would you solve this?Thanks in advancegrJose

Using Collate on Join conditions

I am joining 2 tables T1 and T2 based on a condition T1.A = T2.BT1.A have values like 'wNFq' and T2.B have values like 'WNFQ', 'wnfQ', 'WnFq', 'wNFq'For a regular join a particular row of 'wNFq' from T1 gets joined with all values: 'WNFQ', 'wnfQ','WnFq' and 'wNFq' of T2My intention is to join only 'wNFq' from T1 to 'wNFq'.I achieved the same using custom SQL insert and using the below  COLLATE function to join based on case sensitive sequencing using:T1.A COLLATE Latin1_General_CS_AS_KS_WS = T2.B COLLATE Latin_1_General_CS_AS_KS_WSWandering if there is a different way to achieve this avoiding custom SQL.Appreciate any help on the same.

Filtering on the Look up fields

Created a conditional lookup based on following : T1 joined to T2 where T1.A = T2.B Looked up T2.C based on the above join condition and stored the value in T1.D Now I need to filter the resultant data set which is on T1 based on certain values of T1.D Unable to put that filter in the Table Data Selection Rule. Even I tried to copy T1.D(look up filed) to T1.E (a separate filed created just to hold the value of T1.D) and filter on T1.E, even that did not work. Appreciate help on the same.

Conditional Lookup multiple values

I have the following set of tables: A (key1, key2) B (key2, key3) In that case, every key1 can have multiple key2 attributes in table A and every key2 can have multiple key3 attribues in table B. When I would use a conditional lookup field for table A to get key3, it would only give me one of the key3 attribues, is it possible to take all values? I know I could do it with a simple custom view left joining on key2, but is there are recommended way to do it in Discovery Hub without custom views? So the goal table should be like C (key1, key2, key3)

Sorting a Hierarchy differently

I'm trying to create a hierarchy of GL accounts and the category they belong to. (i.e. Assets, Liabilities, Equity, Income Expenses).However the Hierarchy is displaying alphabetically.  If it were to be sorted by the first GL account it's associated with, it would sort correctly since GL accounts are numbered in the proper sequence.However, when I tell the Dimension, "Parent Category" (which is the Assets, Liabilities etc) to sort by Attribute Key, when I deploy I get an error saying it can't be used as an attribute because it is not related.Is there a workaround to this?

Table truncation options

Hi guys,Can someone elaborate the different options of table truncation? I can't really find it in the help or e-learning. We have set up an incremental load on a large table in the ODX, initially in simple mode. We found that the data after deployment & execution exists in the valid table and in the raw table, occupying twice the available storage of the original table size. We then disabled simple mode and checked the truncate raw table before transfer. I now still see some records (not all of them) in the raw table. I guess I'll have to check "Empty raw table after data cleansing" to completely empty the raw table after reloading, but I can't really grasp the difference between these options.
