Don't know if anyone might have any ideas on this one. We're moving our Customer Service Metrics in PMF to Production from QA and everything appears to be the same in both systems. However, on one dimension, our Customer Service dimension, we are showing a different set of parameters being passed when calling the same operational report. Below, see the values passed in the filter in QA - which are correct and then at the bottom, an attempt to pass the same values in Production - incorrect (a series of numbers and then a partial key). Any thoughts on what might be causing this? I've recreated the synonym and reloaded the dimension with no effect.

This looks suspiciously like you are using an AnV field in production but an An in QA. The numbers (I6) at the start look like the length of the field value that you get with AnV type fields.

You are right. The numbers to the left are the length of the string I'm trying to pull out. Given that I'm using the same program code, the same .MAS and .ACX and the same PMF configuration in QA and Prod, I'm at a loss to understand where the difference can be. How do I distinguish between An and AnV and where do I find this setting? Thanks.
We're assuming your source data is what's in question; PMF deals with the ANV fields internally in its mart structure and master files.
If the ACTUAL format for the fields on these source database tables is specified in the WebFOCUS Master File for this as AnnnnV (where nnnn is the field length) then WebFOCUS will automatically deal with taking the length off the strings and using it as the length descriptor. You can then specify a USAGE of Annnn (where nnnn is the field length) and get the results you expect in your measure loads.
thanks

I'll take any questions about PMF - business or technical - anytime!
Thanks. You answered my question. We did have the data type set incorrectly on one field in our synonym. That has been updated in production and the problem is resolved. Thanks Bob and Alan for your help on this.
