Simple Dimensions

Simple Dimensions (Code dimensions) are lists of values that do not support attributes or hierarchies. The three key uses of Simple Dimensions are:

  • Reserved for use within the Analytical Application Engines.
  • Stratifying your data for processor report filtering purposes.
  • Serving as lists of values when used as attributes.

The OFSAA Data Model comes with more than 150 seeded Simple Dimensions. Many of these seeded Simple Dimensions are also seeded with Dimension Members. Unlike Key Processing Dimensions and Standard Dimensions, Simple Dimensions are stored in two tables:

  • A Code Table
  • A Multi-Language Support or MLS Table

See the Oracle Financial Services Analytical Applications Infrastructure (OFSAAI) Installation and Configuration Guide for details on multi-language support.
