You will need to create a hierarchy of those dimensions in the hold file master file and then the chaining should work automatically.

The issue here is I am trying to chain off of a temporary file in foccache. In App Studio this was a non-issue, and something I used frequently. If Designer Studio doesnt account for chaining against temporary master files, then this will be a limitation vs what I am currently able to do in App Studio.

Creating a hierarchy in hold files is the basis for chaining It can be done.

For one run of creating your hold file put an APP HOLD baseapp at the top of the fex and the master file will be there for you to edit to build the hierarchy. You can put it an any app folder you want that is in the APP PATH I just used baseapp as an example

I was able to create a Business View against the temporary hold file, and this seemed to do the trick. It still feels like this adds to the ease that App Studio afforded for chaining, but it does seem to be a viable solution.

Yes I agree with you, but Designer Studio is still a work in progress. You might want to open a new feature request case with techsupport asking to improve how that works.

I am trying to build a simple graph in Designer Studio, and I am having issues chaining my 2 filters.

Here are the steps I took.

 

Ran a procedure which created a hold file in foccache

Created a new graph in Designer Studio against this hold file

Clicked and dragged 2 Dimensions into the Filter Bar

 

 

From here is there something to be done so I can chain my Rollup and BA filters

Hi

There is another technique in which you can declare the chaining using the WITHIN attribute in your filters:

WHERE ( ENV.GROUPENV EQ &GROUPENV.(OR(FIND PURCHS_PRMS_ENV.SEG01.GROUPENV IN purchs_prms_env|FORMAT=A48)).Level1:. )

WHERE ( ENV.DNAME EQ &DNAME.(OR(FIND DNAME,PURCHS_PRMS_ENV.SEG01.TITLE IN purchs_prms_env|FORMAT=A32, WITHIN=GROUPENV)).Level2:. );

WHERE ( BRANCH.BRANCHNAME EQ &BRANCHNAME.(OR(FIND BRANCHNAME,BRANCHDES IN purchs_prms_env|FORMAT=A20,WITHIN=DNAME)).Level3:. );

** this technique is relevant when you create a designer page using several pre-defined procedures
