[SOLVED] Olap on a Self-Serve report?

We have a report that we would like to put outside in our unsecured Self-Serve (EDASERVE) environment, but we want it to have OLAP as well.

There's no checkbox or anything to do this for a fex in self-serve, is there a secret to this or am I missing something obvious?

Thanks!

Jason, if you look in the Procedure Viewer, you can select the icon that is called OLAP Dimensions and you can construct the hierarchy outside of MRE. I think it generates a -OLAP ON statement in your focexec. This should get you started.

Thanks for the tip Ginny. The report runs as OLAP just fine when it's in MRE, but when we cut and paste the FOCUS code into the self-serve environment, it doesn't load with OLAP, just as a simple html report.

Do you all have OLAP reports in self serve that work? if so, maybe it's a setting?

Here is a sample on the CAR file. It might be the -OLAP ON command.
-OLAP ON
-* File carolap.fex
OLAP DIMENSIONS
-* DIMENSIONS FILE CAR
Region: COUNTRY;
Product: CAR, MODEL, BODYTYPE;
END
TABLE FILE CAR

     SALES

Thank you for your patience Ginny.
It turns out that if you have your first line in the .fex as
-OLAP ON;
it will not work. If you use
-OLAP ON
it does work, just as your car file example showed me.

Thanks for your help on this!

Good to hear. We don't do much OLAP here but I always have examples to share in case someone wants to use it.
