Dimension attributes

This appendix contains additional information about some of the dimensions and their attributes. An OLAP database does not work in the same way as a relational database, for example, there is no schema or referential integrity.

However, some FAP dimensions have quite a few TM1® attributes. These attributes can be useful in various reporting scenarios as well as in TM1 scripts.
