Attribute not unique

Post by phamtinkt88 »

Hi all,

Belows are 2 products' alias, there are spaces to distinguish them but error "Attribute not unique" still occur :
  • RINNAI RV-6 DOUBLE GLASS(L)
    RINNAI RV-6DOUBLE GLASS (L)
Any ideas on this issue !

Thanks all,
Tin Pham

Yes. As far as TM1 is concerned these are identical - for aliases and element names TM1 ignores spaces.

This applies to items of dimensions (hence also attributes) and also any other object name (cube, dimension, view, subset).

More on this in this thread, here in the documentation and in this IBM tech note.
