Using Dimensional Data Sources with Queries
When you are working with SAP BW
data sources, you can use only a single hierarchy in a query.
Creating queries using a mix of OLAP and relational data is not supported. If you create queries using a database for which you do not know the type, consult your database administrator or modeler.
When performing multi-cube queries using dimensional data sources, the following restrictions apply:
- Only basic operators (+, *, /,-) are available for cross-cube calculations.
- Inner joins are not supported.
- All joins for multi-cube queries are outer joins.
- Viewing MDX using the Generated SQL/MDX query property may not show you the actual MDX that is executed. This is because when a multi-cube query is executed, a number of smaller queries are actually executed.
