You must create control dimensions using the procedure described here. If you attempt to
create a control dimension from the Dimensions node on a database, you
receive a validation error.
Procedure
- Open a Modeling workbench.
- In the Databases tree, expand the database where you want to
create the control dimension.
- Right-click the Control Objects node, then click Create
control dimension.
- Enter a Control dimension name.
The leading } character is already in place.
The name you enter is validated against a list of reserved system control object names and
prefixes. If you enter a reserved name or prefix you get notification that the name is reserved and
cannot be used.
- Click Create to create the new control dimension.
After you create the control dimension, you can add members, set attributes and weights, and
create sets as you would for a regular
dimension.
