Map Browse Issue

jevans2017Nov 19 2017 — edited Nov 19 2017

We're on 11.1.2.4.210 for FDMEE and noticed that if we have primary and alternate hierarchies for Entity dimension, when browsing for target member (I.e. CO101) in List tree, it brings back all instances of that member across all hierarchies in the Entity dimension.  So if it exists in primary and three other alternate hierarchy, it comes back 4 times in List tree to choose from.

Is there a setting in FDMEE so it only brings back one instance as to not to confuse the users with duplicate values to choose from?

I am currently also working on a Forms to Apex conversion and encounter the same problems. Alas, you do have to make Ajax calls and confirm dialogs before actually submitting the page.

This (in my case anyway) means a redesign of Forms processing.  All the necessary checks need to be done before submitting the page. So, a Form proces like this:

<do something>

<confirm?>

<do something>

<confirm?>

<final commit>

has to be redesigned to

<do some checks via an Ajax call without committing data>

<confirm?>

<post and commit>

This usually means you first get all the confirmation messages back in one message instead of multiple confirms (as was usually the case in Forms).

If this kind of redesign is not possible, you should hold temporary results in a collection before actually committing the data.

BTW: it gets worse when you have Forms with a POST-FORMS-COMMIT trigger!

Thanks for your reply

Perhaps collections are the way to go. I would rather not offcourse.

I think it will mean that i have to rewrite the standard save action of the interactive grids to process the row(s) through ajax and handle the user interaction before they are actually submitted by the grid.

Perhaps i can come up with some plugin design to do this in a more general way..
