saving changes

[tryinghard]

Guys,

This might be a very naive question, but I am unable to save any changes in my service unless I close the service and say yes to the changes. I want to be able to save changes from Architect.

I did build a TI process to save changes in data using savealldata; however I do not know of a command to save changes in the dimension. Can someone please advice?

First, a "service" doesn't have a user interface so it doesn't ask you whether you want to save changes before shutting down, it just does it. Is it possible that you're running the server as an application?

Second, Architect can save changes in exactly the same way as any other client can; right click on the server name, select Save Data. I just did that in 9.5.1 and it still works fine and dandy.

That's because when you make a change to a dimension, the change occurs as soon as you close the dimension editor (assuming that you agree to save the changes) or when you save the .xdi, as the case may be.
