Link to DCD: http://i48.tinypic.com/29de538.png
I have this DCD to work on, with SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio 2008.
I have made a facttable which is a view, because I need to have some measures..
Now how do I connect my facttable to the other tables? Dont know if the should be linked to selftest, instrument or network.
It would be great to hear the correct linking, and how to do it!
Thanks a bunch!
It looks like you have Instrument (first dimension), execution date (second dimension) and a resulting status (third dimension) for each Self Test. You may generate hierarchies of Instrument Type, Group and Network to group together Instruments within ssas.
The resulting counts (NumOk, NumWarning, NumError) may be your measures. Typically, you would group these together depending on the grain of your fact (i.e. daily) to a single fact table. There is no need to create separate facts per measures, you would only create separate fact tables if the measures relate to a different set of dimensions
Try to set your source up as follows (add additional attributes as required) and follow the model through to the DSV. Suggest that you ignore hierarchies until you get the basics working within SSAS.
