Flashback in Timeline Views

If the Oracle database you are using has Flashback enabled, you can configure your Timeline View so that end-users can execute it in the context of a previous point-in-time.

To enable Flashback, add the following to your Filters.  (We have made it a "dynamic" filter, but you may opt not to make it dynamic.)

      <CustomFilterField dynamic="true">
        <FieldRef category="PDF" levelType="Undefined">
          <FieldName>FlashbackTime</FieldName>
        </FieldRef>
        <Hidden>false</Hidden>
        <Editable>true</Editable>
        <Type>DATE</Type>
        <Optional>true</Optional>
        <SimpleMapping sqlName="FLASHBACK_TIME"/>
      </CustomFilterField>      

The name FlashbackTime is a reserved keyword in ONE.  When present, this filter will indicate to the server that it should apply the user's given date/time when executing the Timeline View data measure SQLs, so that the results returned reflect the point in time given by the user.

Please note - if Flashback is not enabled in Oracle, or if the user selects a FlashbackTime which exceeds the undo_retention setting in Oracle, the user will receive an explanatory error message.
