General Fabric questions

I suspect this is the wrong forum but I don't see a general Fabric one yet?

 

I have some questions:

  1. When is Data Activator coming to South East Asia?
  2. When creating datasets on top of a DWH:
    1. Is it possible to add synonyms to tables, columns and measures?
    2. Is it possible to add table descriptions?
    3. Can a measure added at the DWH level be updated in secondary (not the default) datasets?

    1. No idea

    2. 

          1. I don't see a way to do this in the Service. Not sure if you could connect to the underlying dataset in Desktop and do it there?

          2. You can. You open the DWH, select the table and then use the gear icon in the ribbon in the Service

          3. I've never had any luck with something like that.

     

    You might find this interesting:

      Many thanks Greg, that was helpful.  I enjoyed the video too :-).  I think (hope) that there is a useable pattern in Fabric for simple DWH implementations with custom datasets created on top.  When watching your video, although you tried just about every other approach, it would be good to see if you can do what you want (ish) by creating custom datasets.
