[Raj321]

Hi all,
I am text files as data provider, When i try to link tables, there is no option like Link/Unlink in Data Cube. How can i link Tables?
Thanks in Advance,
Raj.

If you only have 1 data provider, you can't link anything.

You don't link cubes, you link dimensions in those cubes.

Hi Steve,
I tried to link 2 data provides, both are Text files. But i didn't get Link/Unlink option in the Data Manager.

Thanks
Raj.

Did both have the proper dimension to link them over.
Using text files as input will have BO automatically set numeric values as measures. You can set them to dimension in the datamanager............

Yes, They do have common Dimension. The Dimension is Part Name and other Dimension is PartId.

I'm sure this is just procedural. You don't link the cubes, you link the objects. What happens when you select and object? Are you saying the link button is always gray?

Hi Steve,
Yes, all the time the button is grayed.
