Many to many relationships used in dashboard and stories

Troubleshooting


Problem

Packages with many to many relationships not working in dashboard and stories.

Cause

DQM Package:
Many to Many (full outer join) relationships are not supported in Dynamic Query Mode.
Dynamic query mode assumes that a bridge table has been used to resolve a many-to-many relationship between dimensions.
CQM Package:
When using a CQM Package in Dashboard it will internally treated as DQM.
This implies that DQM restriction apply and also a JDBC connection is required.

Resolving The Problem

Use bridge table to resolve a many-to-many relationship between dimensions.
