That is correct, you can create a Data adapter to this view.
Are you using Star Schema creation? If you did that, then you'll get a Parent Column in the view, and you can use the view to pull it. If you use Member filters, then if this is a blend unit dimension, that will change how the members are stored in blend tables.
Interesting. When I update my bi-blend settings between star schema and non-star schema I don't get any additional columns. I was however able to get the data in need into the table. I was lucky in the respect that my base level data for UD1 matches what's in the ERP, so I just did column comparison against and attribute and it's working and performing well.
