Need help on error 63 while adding attribute in TM1

[BHE_TM12011]

Hello,

I am user of TM1 Perspectives for MS excel in Exel Version -2003

I am getting an error while trying to save dimension once the Alias attribute is added. The message is

'Cannot define the new attribute Alias, error code 63'

Has anyone seen this ? Would appreciate feedback.

Thanks & Regards,

Some possibilities that occur to me are:

If this is the first attribute that you are creating on the dimension, then, is it possible that you already have a }ElementAttributes_<dimension>.dim or .cub file left in the cubes directory?

If you have any rules on the }ElementAttributes cube could these be generating a duplicate alias?

Are you entering a duplicate alias?

When you did that, what TM1 user did you use ?
Was your TM1 user a TM1 administrator, a member of the admin group ?
Or was your TM1 user a non-admin user, not being a member of the admin group ?

I assume your TM1 user was a non-admin user.

Thanks for your responses. I am new in this forum and definitely appreciate a space to discuss TM1 issues as it tends to baffle me at times.

@ Paul .. I am not sure if I addressing your response correctly, however it was the second attribute added. There is a default attribute of format when the cube was created.

@Moby ... I am an user with 'write' rights on the cube so I am able to make changes but looks like it is limited to an extent and I did approach user with admin rights and was able to create the attribute.

Thank you again for your feedback.
