Data entity for the Financial dimension not working

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 439

Hi All,

I have created a custom entity for updating the financial dimension 

I have a custom table and added a field default dimension and created a relation with DimensionAttributeValueSet

mytable.Defaultdimension == DimensionAttributeValueSet.RecId

Then I have created a entity to import and update the default dimension in the current Table like this

Under the entity -> Table datasource I have added a new datasource with TableName = DimensionSetEntity

Read only -  yes, outer join,

and given the relation as below MyTable.DefaultDimension == DimensionSetEntity.RecId

When ever I tried to import the data or update I have getting below error 

Results. Cannot select a record in Mytable (MytableStaging).
The SQL database has issued an error.
Object Server Azure:
[Microsoft][ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server][SQL Server]Error converting data type nvarchar to bigint.
SELECT

I have checked one standard entity Sales order lines V2 entity and it is working fine there not sure what i need to do more.

I have the same question (0)

    Hi rohit,

    After adding new custom data source to your entity, have you done "Update staging table" by right clicking the entity?

    After that do a synchronization and check.

    Thanks,

    Girish S.

    Hi that issue is resolved but now when ever I am tying to update/ insert the record  it is not happening update the dimensions are not getting updated.

    DimensionSetEntity has "Is Read Only" property set to Yes. So, I guess you cannot use that entity for CRUD operations.

    You need to think in alternate way to meet your scenario like trying different entities.

    Thanks,

    Girish S.
