Cause
Custom measurements do not have a default unit.
Resolution
*Warning: Irreparable database damage can occur. This procedure should only be performed by users familiar with SQL Server Management Studio. Databases should be backed up prior to performing this procedure.*
In this example, the custom measurement we will add a unit to is called Cstm Meas, and the unit will be testunit.
Note: The custom unit name will only be available in one language (e.g. English).
For ION Enterprise 6.0 SP1
1. Run this query to update the triple store:
USE ION_Network
DECLARE @measurement NVARCHAR(1000)
SET @measurement = N'Cstm%20Meas'
EXEC spTS_StandardRelationship_Add @measurement, N'unit', N'testunit', 'Q'
2. Check that your unit is written to the triple store correctly using this query:
USE ION_Network
SELECT DISTINCT
mm.[ID]
, mm.[StandardName]
, [LegacyID]
, [prefix]
, [unit]
, [phase]
, [quantity]
, [type]
, [format]
, [direction]
, [cumulative]
FROM
(SELECT [Subject], [SubjectNamespace], [Predicate], [Object] FROM dbo.vTS_Triples) AS [TS]
PIVOT
(
MAX([Object])
FOR [Predicate] IN
(
[LegacyID]
, [unit]
, [phase]
, [quantity]
, [type]
, [format]
, [prefix]
, [direction]
, [cumulative]
)
) AS [pvt]
INNER JOIN
dbo.MM_MeasurementMap mm ON (mm.FullName = [SubjectNamespace]+[Subject])
WHERE
mm.ID IN (10009) --> INSERT CUSTOM Measurement ID FROM MM_MeasurementMap table (not QuantityID)
3. Run the following query to update the CUL_DisplayText table:
USE ION_Network
INSERT INTO CUL_DisplayText (ResourceTypeID, ResourceID, Display) values (2, 'Unit=testunit', 'testunit')
Here is a before and after of how the units appear in an example Period over Period report:
For PME7.0.1 / PME7.2.2 / PME8.x
EXECUTE [ION_Network].[dbo].[spTS_StandardRelationship_Add] N'Cstm Meas', N'unit', N'testunit', 'Q'
If Cstm Meas is already associated with a unit, refer to FA279856 as how to assign a new unit to Cstm Meas.
