Cautions
  • When querying data from the Universe, you will always need to return the SRS_TERM and EXTRACT_DATE in order to see each distinct snapshot. If you don't follow this advice, you will get all snapshots aggregated to the fields that you return.
  • The user will never see the joins between Time and the other Business Objects tables in this Universe. All joins are done behind the scenes.

Sources

  • Data in the Business Objects TIME table are drawn from TD_TIME_DIMENSION.
