Hi Lawrence,

You can create cube relationships as documented here, which will allow you to reference data in one cube from another cube (if records in the source class of one cube are related to records in the source class of the other). However, if I'm understanding your question correctly, that may not be the best approach in your case.

For one thing, I'm not sure why you have created two cubes instead of one cube with some additional elements. Is each of these items you're discussing a single record (i.e. a fact in your cube)? Or is it a property of each record (i.e. a model element in your cube)? If it's the former, you could add properties to your existing levels as necessary, whose values could be the human-readable names, generated/fetched if necessary by source expressions. If it's the latter, you could add display names to these elements in your cube definition.

It sounds to me like it might make sense to open a WRC issue to work with support on these questions, since they're fairly specific to the cubes you are creating - please feel free to do that if you'd like, and one of my colleagues or I will be able to work with you on this.

Hi Laura,

After installing the JRE, I believe you need to restart either the Caché instance you're using or the server you just installed it on before you can use it to export PDFs from DeepSee - have you tried doing that? I haven't had a chance yet to test and figure out which is necessary (based on the fact that you can use the JRE from the command line, restarting the instance might be sufficient), but if it's convenient to try that, it might help.

The place to specify the sort order for a level is in the cube definition. In the Architect, open the cube you are using, select the level that you want to change the sort order for, and look at the Details panel for that level (on the right-hand side of the Architect page). In the "Sort option" dropdown, choose "asc numeric", and then compile your cube definition. (It is not necessary to rebuild the cube after making this change.) You should then be able to refresh the Analyzer, put the same level on rows, and see that it sorts in ascending numeric order.

Hi Lawrence,

Here's a general outline of the steps to create a DeepSee dashboard, starting from data that is somewhere on your system but not yet in a DeepSee cube:

- Get the data you want to use into a persistent class, referred to as your source class. Depending on what you are doing with the data that comes in via your REST service, you may already have such a class, or you may need to create one and store a copy of your data there after it comes in.

- Use the DeepSee Architect to define a cube based on your source class. This will allow you to specify which properties of your source class you want available for use in pivots and dashboards. You can then compile and build your cube, which will create a fact table (and several other tables) to store an indexed copy of the data you have specified. There is documentation on defining cube models here.

- Use the DeepSee Analyzer to create one or more pivot tables that display data from your cube. There is documentation on creating pivot tables here.

- In the DeepSee User Portal, create a new dashboard and add one or more widgets to it. For each widget, specify a pivot table as its data source, and then customize the widget to display a table or chart, adding any filters or other controls that you want to give users access to. There is documentation on creating dashboards here. (It sounds like you may already be familiar with this step, once you've created a pivot, but I'm including it for completeness.)

For some of these steps, there are alternative options to the ones I've mentioned here, but these are the most common options and I would recommend using them to start out (and really whenever possible). Please let me know if you're having problems with the specifics of some part of this.

Hi Hamza,

I don't believe there is an MDX function that works the same way as ISCROSSFILTERED(). If you'd like to describe what you hope to do using this function, I'll let you know if I can think of a practical way to do this with MDX. To identify whether a query is using filters on the cube in question or a related cube, I would probably try to get the MDX query text and parse it, looking for %FILTER and WHERE clauses, but that would have to be done from outside of the query itself (e.g. in ObjectScript).

When I try to play that video using Firefox it stops at that point (without displaying any error messages, so your problem may be different). But reloading the page and clicking to a point a few seconds later seems to work for me - if you haven't tried that, it might allow you to pick up just after the place where it stopped.

It plays without stopping in Internet Explorer.

For reference, this seems to be the video:

Hi Neerav,

I believe the correct syntax is to just use & (not &) for the ampersand before each parameter, and to use %26 (not &) for the ampersand before the member key. So your URL would be something like

....dashboard&SETTINGS=FILTER:[Account].[H1].[Account].%26[1];&NOTITLE=1

Please give this a try and let me know whether it works.
