Map Maintenance

The Map Maintenance window facilitates to control how dimension members are shared among users within an information domain. You can map multiple hierarchies to user groups available in OFSAAI so that the mapped members only can be viewed by the users belonging to that user group. You can set a mapper definition as the default Security mapper for an information domain. Based on the members mapped in a security mapper, the hierarchy browser window in OFSAAI framework displays the members of the hierarchy along with its descendants.

Note:

Since a hierarchy’s member security is maintained at user group level, the member maintenance related functions like add, edit, copy, and delete will be the same for all users across all the enabled members in the hierarchy maintenance window.

For understanding the Hierarchy Security feature, see Scenario to Understand Hierarchy Security section. To access the Map Maintenance window, you should be mapped to Access role. To create, modify, and delete a mapper, you should be mapped to Write role.

Based on the role that you are mapped to, you can access, read, modify, or authorize Map Maintenance. For all the roles and descriptions, see Appendix A. The roles mapped to Map Maintenance are as follows:

Mapper Access
Mapper Advanced
Mapper Authorize
Mapper Phantom
Mapper Read Only
Mapper Write

Figure 8-35 Map Maintenance window

This illustration shows the Map Maintenance window, which displays the Name, Version, Description, Dynamic, Inherit Member, Map Type, and Database View name for the available mapper definitions created in the selected Segment and Infodom. The window has the Map Maintenance pane, you can specify the details of the map in this pane.

The Map Maintenance window displays the Name, Version, Description, Dynamic, Inherit Member, Map Type, and Database View name for the available mapper definitions created in the selected Segment and Infodom. Segments facilitate the classification of related metadata in a single segment. You have access to only those metadata objects that are mapped to the same segment to which you are mapped.
