Missing Categories in Analysis Studio

[Arsenal]

Hey All,

Touching cubes after a very long time. Built a new model and built the cube on the server. Cognos 10.1 and using an FM package.
2 dimensions, while showng me categories within Transformer, show up with nothhing in Analysis studio, meaning there's no + sign next to these  2 dimensions to collapse/expand them. Anyone with any suggestions on what could be wrong?

Thanks

hmm looks like it could be problem with measure allocations. Found some links and reading them now.

ok, I know what's causing the issue. Basically, the 2 dimensions that are "missing" in AS are coming off 2 query subjects that do not have joins specified to the fact query subject in FM. However, the id keys are named the same (example: customer_id in customer table and customer_id in fact table). I thought this was the way to go for FM package built cubes? That joins should not be made in the FM layer, rather the names of keys should be the same and Transformer will automatically join?

Another thing..the keys themselves are not part of the dimensions, so maybe that is causing an issue? Sorry, first attempt at building cubes off FM package..have used IQD's in the past

By default categories in the model do not appear in analysis studio. Unless they have data against them. It sounds like you have no data against them. i.e. even of you set the categories to 'always include', they will have a value of zero as no measures are associated with them.
