Can someone explain to me the concept of a Determinant, as it relateds to Uniquely Identifying something?
Thanx
Determinants are bascially used to make sure data rolls up correctly. You have to let cognos know how the data is modelled, what uniquely identifies a record, and this is done by using determinants.
When you import data into FM, and the tables getting imported have primary keys/unique indexes then you will see FM automatically creates a determinant for you.
thanks goose
