TM1 Forum

Hi

I am trying to move existing dimension (Accounts) hierarchy from one tm1 instance-A to another tm1 instance -B
What I did - re-created the IT process to accommodate hierarchy need in instance B. used the same IT code of Instance -A- IT process executed successfully and noticed hierarchy build looks good.

I am noticed the description (Name) and format section missing for eliments when see I under subset editor (Properties window)

Please advise.

You'll need to create the attributes and populate them on instance B with the values from instance A. Create a TI process to ASCIIOUTPUT your attribute values on instance A to a flat file and a TI process to read in the file and populate the attributes on instance B.

Or alternatively you could just copy the }ElementAttributes .cub and .dim files for that dimension into your data directory and restart the TM1 server. Be sure if any of your }ElementAttributes cubes has rules that you copy the .rux file as well.
