OBIEE 11g Dimension Browse Revisited

I’ve blogged before about the Dimension Browse feature in the OBIEE Admin Tool. For the uninitiated, there is a “Dimension Browse” checkbox within the logical table source (LTS) dialog which appeared with the release of version 11.1.1.3.

It seems this feature never really worked properly and you could click it, click ok, come back to the dialog later and it would be unticked again.

Oracle are now saying that this feature is obsolete and has been replaced by a better way of handling dimension-only queries. It seems the checkbox is hanging around in the UI without doing anything! Maybe it will be gone when 11.1.1.6 comes along?

More info on the Oracle Support site if you really need it: Doc Id 1394335.1 and Bug reference 13341484.
