Split text dimension data

If two tables are linked via a text dimension the data of both dimensions is used. This means that in the PPM user interface, the values of both tables are displayed in filter dialogs and the Filter bar.

The dimension data is not deleted before all data of the analysis realm is deleted. This means that if you import various data into one of the tables and thus render the previously imported dimension data obsolete, the data continues to be displayed in PPM until the data in the analysis realm is completely deleted (e.g., by replacing the analysis realm configuration).

If you use a text dimension to link a data table with a process table the following special modes of behavior occur. Like in a Data analytics case, the dimension data is split. Therefore, dimension data that is used only in Data analytics, is also displayed in the user interface (filter dialogs and bar) in the process analysis, and vice versa. It is therefore difficult to remove obsolete values. The only option is to reinitialize the analysis server (runppmimport –reinitanalysisserver yes) and then reimport the Data analytics data.
