Consistency Warning - [39008] Dimension Table not joined to Fact Source

Question

I have a schema in which I have the following tables:
A) Patient Transaction Fact Table (i.e. supplies used, procedures performed, etc.)
B) Demographic Dimension table (houses info like patient location code)
C) Location Dimension table (tells me what Hospital each unique Location maps to)
So table A is the fact, and table B is a dimension table joined to table A based on Patient ID, so I can get general info on the patient. This would allow me to apply logic to just see patient transactions where the patient was FEMALE, or was in the Emergency Room, by applying conditions to these fields in table B.
Table C is a simple lookup table joined to table B by Location Code, so I can identify which hospital's emergency room the patient was located in for instance.
So the schema is: A<---B<---C, where B and C are both dimension tables.
The query works as desired, but my consistency check gives me the following WARNING:
*[39008] Logical dimension table LOCATION MASTER D has a source LOCATION MASTER D that does not join to any fact source.*
How do I resolve this WARNING, or at least suppress it?

Answer 1

Hi,
What you need to do is to add the (physical) location dimension table to the logical table source of the demographic dimension, for example by dragging it from physical layer on top of logical table source of demographic logical dimension table in bmm layer
