Example. Product manager varies by region

In this example a Product dimension has different product managers and sales managers, depending on region.

The dynamic attribute cube, ATC_PRODUCT, has these dimensions:

  • The Product dimension
  • The driver dimension, Region. Where the product manager differs with region, the Region dimension is the driver dimension.
  • The attribute dimension, ATD_Product, with these elements and attributes:
    Element Format_Type
    Product Manager
    Sales Manager

These are the XML properties of the fact cube:

 
<Alea:DynamicAttributes> 
<Alea:Dimension Name="PRODUCT"> 
<Alea:AttributeCube Name="ATC_PRODUCT" /> 
</Alea:Dimension> 
</Alea:DynamicAttributes>

These are the XML properties of the dynamic attribute cube:


<Alea:DynamicAttributeConfiguration> 
<Alea:Dimension Name="PRODUCT" /> 
<Alea:AttributeDimension Name="ATD_Product" /> 
<Alea:DriverDimensions> 
<Alea:DriverDimension Name="Region"> 
</Alea:DriverDimension> 
</Alea:DriverDimensions> 
</Alea:DynamicAttributeConfiguration>
