In a mapping i have three dimensions. If i want to pass a
same surrogate key value to all the three dimensions by
using one sequence generator is possible?If the mapping is
containing single flow? And in the same case if the mapping
is contaning 3 flows for the three dimensions then by using
one sequence generator can we populate surrogate key (same
value) to all the three dimensions?
