Loss of aliases in a dimension

Post by Joni »

I have copied a model from one server to another - all looks ok, except that the aliases are now missing from dimensions... Any idea what has caused this / how to fix?
Thanks in advance!

TM1 is an in-memory database. The most recent data resides in the working memory of the server. If you copy object files without performing a data save first, it could be that you're copying old / incomplete data.

Michel has suggested one possibility. Another... when you say that you copied "a model" from one server to another did you take everything that was in the database directory, or just the data cubes and dimensions? You'd need to have taken the }ElementAttributes_xxx cubes and dimensions for each of the dimensions as well.
