How to rename a cube

Post by CellPutN »

Hello,

I know changing a cube name is pretty straight forward.
1- stop server
2- change cube name in data folder
3- reboot server

But what happen if I just want to change a capital letter ?
I had change the "a" for an "A" but it didn't change the cube name in Architect when I reboot my server.

I know for TI we had to change the name directly in the .PRO file but what about .CUB ?

Cheers !
Carl

The reason is that TM1 is not case sensitive for TM1 objects so it does not recognize your renamed cube as different. Why is this important? Because TM1 modifies the }Cubes dimension every time the server is restarted, taking out old and adding new. If you have renamed your cube then the old cube name is removed and the new cube name is added. If you just changed the case then TM1 does not recognize this as a change and does nothing. Therefore you still see the old cube name. BTW, TM1 does not recognize spaces either so taking out or adding spaces will not trigger a change either.
