OWB 10g: Creating a dimension: error on hierarchy

Question

Hi there,
i've created a very simple dimension, alike the channel dimension of the sh-samples.
However, when i validate my dimension, i get the error:
--> VLD-0350: In a hierarchy <name>, level relationship binding between parent level "total" and child level "channel" does not exist.
--> Within a hierary a level relationship between levels must be created using the surrogate key column of the parent.
I've created the dimension now several times but one way or the other this error always pops up. I've recreated the hierarchy, still the problem remains. Anybody has a clue how to create this binding?
Any help is very much appreciated!
Cheers
Sandra

Answer 1

Thanks for the quick reply, I have a Surrogate key on every level.
*** Problem solved ***, but still a mystery... I actually quite OWB
came back and everything was validating correctly...
Do any of you have such a problem? Things not working, exit come back
in an it works???
Here the problems that I had before the restart...
Here's a quick overview of what I have in the Data Object Editor:
Relational Tab:
I have my "source" table were my data is to fill the Dimension. Validates successfully.
Dimensional Tab:
I have my CUSTOMER_DIM, I did the Bind All I have 2 errors now:
VLD-0345 Level Attribute CUSTOMER ID is not bound to a column in
table or updateble view.
VLD-0350: In a hierarchy STANARD, level relationship binding between parent level
COUNTRY_HEIR and child level BASE_HIER does not exist. (Each level attribute must be bound to a column in a table or updateable view)
In the Object Editor, Dimensional Attributes, I have CUSTOMER_ID that is a Surrogate. In the "Choose the sequence that will populate the Dimension and Surrogate Keys:"
I have selected CUSTOMER_DIM_SEQ. (Within a hierarchy a level relationship between levels must be created using the surrogate key column of the parent.)
Thanks
