Dynamic Attributes with no context

It would be a great improvement if dynamic attribute contexts could have zero dimensions. That way the dynamic attributes could act just like the standard attributes, which are overdue for updating.

It's worth mentioning that some similar products (which I won't name here) store attribute tables in cubes.

For some kind of "fallback" - means when there is no value in the cube for dynamic attribute use name for real attribute table I'm using a rule on cube with dynamic attributes.

Something like this:

[HBUSSEGMENT_AD:'CompoundName']

if ([HBUSSEGMENT_AD:'HotelSpecificName'] = #NA, GETATTR('HBUSSEGMENT', !HBUSSEGMENT,2, 'ENGLISH'),[HBUSSEGMENT_AD:'HotelSpecificName'])

So I have two dynamic attributes: HotelSpecificName (where I can store what is special for the company in name) and dynamic attribute CompondName - where is HotelSpecific or content of real ATT table.

Than I can write to HotelSpecificName only in case there is something special for the company. The rest is maintained in att_table 2 - Attribute ENGLISH

Much less effort to keep it in sync and performance is good enough ..

Is this what you need ?

Hi Radek,

Thanks for your suggestion, but it doesn't address my comment.

What I mean is that -- for example -- it is a pity that the ROAC REQUIRES an additional context dimension instead of simple ALLOWING one.

But ROAC without context is ROA. Why doesn't that work ?

I didn't realize ROA worked with dynamic attributes

I got ROA to work with a dynamic attribute with no context. It is base on a 2 dimensional cube. I can also write back to the cube normally using CELLGET, but I can't get it to write back using RWA.
