Deleting damaged AttributeElement Cube

[Gunnar]

Dear all,

I inherited a TM1 Environment from my predecessor.
The ElementAttributes Cube for the Dimension ITEM was somehow renamed to "ElementAttributes_ITEM_damaged".

However for month this Attribute Cube seemed to be ok anyway.
Now I tried to delete and re-structure some Alias Attributes for this dimension.

For some reason I can delete the alias attributes on N-Element level but cannot for C-Elements.
By the way, a cube named "... _damaged" doesn't make me feel very comfortable.

Therefore I would appriciate your thoughts regarding the following procedure:
In an test environment I was able to stop the TM1 Service and then to delete the CUB File for this attribute cube. Afterwards it was re-created automatically when I imported attribut values again. Would this procedure lead to problems?
Alternatively I thought about deleting and recreating just the attributes that cause problems. That might help, but I would need to stay with me "... _damaged" cube.

Is there any better idea?

Thanks for your input,
Gunnar

This is exactly what I would do, because this is the easiest and quickest way to do it. I can't think of any problems this would cause.

I can't think of any problems this would cause.

I'd agree however the possibly may exist that someone crazy enough to rule or TI reference a cube called x_damaged. Unlikely but given the fact the fact that it exists in the first place, I'd be wary of the whole model and double check personally.

Thanks for your comments. I'm quite sure that the cube i want to delete is not connected to other cubes via rules.. So I think I will try delete and recreate the attributeElements Cube.
