How can I manage two tables that are joined in a many to many relationship? Designer doesn't give any alias or context candidates. This is a star schema with a table that is a bridge to break a many to many relationship.


 
Obviously your universe does not include a loop , so there is no auto-detection of possible contexts.
If you have 2 fact-tables joined through a dimension table you can create a context for each facttable.
(use listmode)
Look into the 'Multiple SQL statements' bit in the designer guide how you can use a single SQL to give 2 synchronized datacubes containing measures from 2 contexts.

If your query should return other objects than measures , than consider "linked dataproviders"
