PAW Explorations after cube dimensionality changes
Posted: Tue Mar 16, 2021 5:46 am
I recently had to "update" a few cubes with extra dimensions to meet some new business requirements.
Anyone that has done this knows that it is a complete rebuild, with exports, updating rules, feeders, views, templates etc. etc.
I was able to update all the views by editing the .vue files and adding the necessary dimension and subset references.
Then it was on to PAW where I have quite a few Books with many explorations across the tabs.
To my surprise, the explorations rendered - was expecting a blank widget and some error message or other.
The new dimensions were available and seemed to be classified as Default Dimensions (clicking the meatballs menu on the right of the exploration)
I could simply add the new dimensions in and set the subsets and elements required.
Not that you do this every day but was pleasantly surprised and have been saved quite a few hours trying to recreate all these explorations from views or from scratch.
