Steps to create alias and apply..

Answer / mysticbo

Hi All,

I am new to Universe designing.
I have detected loop. And after reading forums,I understand
I need to create alias of the required table.

I have a few questions:
1) Suppose I create an alias of the table
as "table_name_alias" and create the necessary joins,what
is the next step?
2)DO I need to link the alias table with the original
table? ---No I think
3)DO I simply go to my semantic layer and change the object
definition of the original table and point it
to "table_name_alias".

Will 3) be sufficient if I dont have too many facts tables?
Or do I need to drag the "table_name_alias" and create a
class of that?-- I think NO

Please guide.Thanks:)

Answer / sj

One of the main use of Alias is to solve loop..So consider
you have a loop like A-->B-->C-->D-->A
in this case the loop ends on A.

So create a alias tale of Table A like A_alias and breathe
loop like below
A-->B-->C-->D-->A_alias,in this way loop is removed
