Limitations

Following are the limitations with Data Element Filters classification:

  • While defining Data Element Filter/Group Filter, it is not recommended to use features like using an Expression in a Filter and Macro Columns, since the generated SQL query for these features is unresolved.
  • Defining Hierarchy/Attribute Filter is not recommended using BMM objects since the underlying Dimension and Hierarchy data are more specific to EPM Apps, and data will be available only if EPM Apps are installed in same Information Domain.
  • Dependency check is not available when any of the BMM objects uses Filters. To maintain dependency between parent and child objects, an appropriate entry has to be added in to the REV_OBJECT_DEPENDENCIES table. Since the BMM object definition details are stored in Config Schema, and do not populate entry into the FSI_M_OBJECT_DEPENDENCY_B/TL tables, the dependency check will not happen especially while deleting a Filter.
