BUG #: 4483 (PLATO7X)



SYMPTOMS
When a time dimension is based on the fact table, an addition or change to the rows in the fact table's datetime column may cause problems after an incremental processing of the cube. The date order may not be correct for the modified rows when you view the data.

This is not an issue if the time dimension is based on a table other then the fact table for the cube.



WORKAROUND
To avoid this problem, incrementally update or refresh the time dimension before you process the cube.
