Title: Determinants Question
Post by: cognoshelp@ymail.com on 20 Sep 2008 12:28:21 PM
Hello All Cognos Gurus,

Please help me to understand by giving brief description (if possible with example),

I have a table e.g ABC and I have some columns eg 1,2,3,4,5,6& 7

But my primary keys(Composite)  in this table ABC is 1st column, 2 column, 3rd column are primary keys

My question here is 1) what I need to set in determinants, keys etc 2) what I need to set for useage properties when I join the columns(my question here is do i need to make all joined columns as identifiers)

I know its touch to answer with taking some example but please explain me bcoz I have same type of issue in my model.

Please help me in this regard

Thanks

A key should always be set to usage 'identifier'. The same goes for indexed fields and dates.
