Symptom
- Upon creating an analytical model based on the fact view, validation errors occur:
- Dimension source has no representative key
- Dimension source has no compound key sequence
- The expectation is to reuse a single association for multiple fields in the Analytical Model
Environment
SAP Datasphere
Cause
The current design requires associations to be configured in a 1-to-1 field mapping. Multiple associations must be created for multiple fields, as reuse of a single association for multiple fields is not supported.
Resolution
- Configure associations in a 1-to-1 field mapping for each field
- Create separate associations for each field to ensure proper functionality in the analytical model
- For enhancement requests to support association reuse for multiple fields, submit a request via the SAP Influence portal
