TR2702
There isn't a data source that is associated with dimension dimension_name.
The specified dimension has no data sources associated with it.
Procedure
To resolve the problem, ensure that
v you have included all the data sources required for each dimension in your
model
v the column names for each level match the name of a column in the Data
Sources list
v you have not created a dimension that contains only manual levels
v you have not deleted a data source required for a dimension
v you have not set the Timing property of the data source so that the data source
is never used to generate categories for the model
v you have not imported a column with a BLOB (Binary Large Objects) data type
from an IBM Cognos package, which Cognos Transformer does not support
TR2703
A column in data source data_source_name matches level level_name in dimension
dimension_name by name. Values from this data source column cannot be related
to categories in this level because insufficient context is specified in the data
source.
This error appears on category generation if a data source column cannot be
associated with some level in the model.
Procedure
You can solve the problem in the following ways:
v If the level you want to associate with the column contains only unique category
values, select the Unique check box on the Source tab of the Level property
sheet. This allows Cognos Transformer to directly associate the values from the
column with the level. Cognos Transformer can then use columns from other
data sources to obtain values for the ancestor categories.
v Restructure your source files so that the data source named in the error contains
all the required ancestor columns.
v For all ancestor columns, ensure that the Data Class box on the General tab of
the Column property sheet is not set to Ignore.
TR2704
Dimension dimension_name contains an unbalanced category-tree in which not all
leaf categories exist in the same level.
Cognos Transformer has encountered a condition in which not all leaf categories
exist at the same level. This can occur when your model uses multiple data sources
and those data sources generate categories for disjoint levels.
