InfoSet -Navigation, Maintenance, Context Menu

Infoset - Navigation

èThe InfoSet navigation within the Enterprise Data Warehousing Workbench with its context sensitive menu is enlarged to provide more functionality 

èIn the same way as the InfoCube all basic functions are available:

l             Display

l             Change

l             Copy

l             Delete 

èFrom the context menu it is possible now to view the data flow into the InfoSet object. 

èThe ADJUST functionality appears automatically if a used InfoProvider within the InfoSet has changed. 

Infoset - Maintenance

•Especially for graphic modeling as we have with InfoSets it is worth hiding the navigation bar and the InfoProvider tree display.

•When starting the first time (for each user) of the InfoSet maintenance the user is asked wheather the display is graphical or hierarchical – this setting can be switched any time with the menu settings. • 

As with InfoCubes and DataStore objects here you can select further InfoProviders within the left frame to join them into the InfoSet. 

InfoSet-Context menu

èThe context menu is different -either for the object which has started the InfoSet – the joining object (e.g. an InfoCube – which has to be first anyway) or the joined object (e.g. a master dataè InfoObject). 

è There are two new major functionalities: 

       *InfoCubes are able to join; 

l       *Time dependencies for time dependent attributes or time dependent InfoCube values.

èThe InfoCube data can be set for its current state of uploaded data – e.g. the last rolled up data into an aggregate (and not just loaded with a green traffic light). 

èDefinition of time dependency is possible either with a period and fixed dates valid from and valid until or a time interval e.g. 0CALMONTH. 

èAlso now it is possible to add filter values to a left outer join – this setting has to be done within the global properties.
