Dimension name changed in dev

[Former Member]

Hi guys,

If i changed the dimension name in dev and want to transport to integration system which is having data in cube.Do i need to delete the data in integration system or while transporting it will delete automatically.

dear Ajay,

you mean change the description right ?

since the 'techincal name' determined by system.

and you didn't change the characteristics inside right ?

if so you should have no need to delete the data, you can transport it. system won't automatically delete data, if characteristics inside dimension are changed, you may have error in transport.

hope this helps.

Ajay,

what you have changed is the DIM table description which does not have a bearing on the DIM table , moresoever the Dimension Name is not used directly in the query but in the query designer view , it does not affect anything.

Hi Ajay,

It would cause no problems during transport if you have just changed the dim name. Make sure you transport with "overwrite" option.
