The category values in a convergence level that connects multiple drill-down paths
must be unique. Similarly, in order for Cognos Transformer to be able to directly
relate source column values to categories in a level, the category values in that
level must be unique.
Procedure
If a level is at the convergence of an alternate drill-down path, or if your data
source contains a column for a level that lacks the ancestor levels needed to
provide its context, you must ensure that each category in that level is
unambiguously identifiable by its value alone.
For example, suppose the convergence level, City, is found in a Regions dimension
that contains the levels Country, State, and City. To avoid uniqueness problems,
ensure that your source data qualifies all identically named cities so they can be
unambiguously identified. For example, the city Burlington is found in the states
Massachusetts and Vermont, so you modify your source to add qualifiers for the
names Burlington-MA and Burlington-VT.
TR0507
The share reference category is not a category in the same dimension.
You have tried to apply a share using a level or category that is in another
dimension.
Procedure
To avoid this problem, when you set up a share, make sure you set it to a level or
category in the same dimension as the categories to which you apply the share.
TR0508
You cannot move a category into or out of a convergence level.
On the diagram for a dimension with multiple drill-down paths, you have tried to
move a category either out of or into a convergence level.
Procedure
To avoid this problem, make sure that you do not move the categories in a
convergence level out of that level, or move new categories from other levels into
the convergence level.
TR0510
The share category ID is invalid. A share category ID must be the object identifier
of another category in the same dimension.
You have tried to specify an invalid share. Each share
v must involve an existing category
v must be relative to a higher level in the same dimension
v must be identified by a share object identifier
