[jira] [Commented] (OFBIZ-10947) Have DateDimension have a

> Key: OFBIZ-10947
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-10947
> Project: OFBiz
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: bi
> Affects Versions: Release Branch 16.11, Release Branch 18.12, Release Branch 17.12, Trunk
> Reporter: Pierre Smits
> Assignee: Pierre Smits
> Priority: Major
> Labels: DateDimension, birt, dimension, dwh
>
> Currently the record sequencer (delegator.getNextSeqId) is used to determine the dimensionId for the DateDimension. This is unnecessary as the date (when correctly formatted) can be used.
> When formatted as 'yyyyMMdd' a dimensionId could be 20190423, which is a correctly 'sequenced' primary key.
> It also makes it easier to set the foreign-key in fact tables by generating it based on the date, than by retrieving the dimensionId based on a retrieval through the getDimensionIdFromNaturalKey service.
