The following scenarios necessitate redefining or editing varying attributes:
After performing a catalog export/import, the varying attribute information in Essbase models will be lost. You must redefine all varying attribute members in any Essbase models that contain them after catalog export/import.
If you rename a data source connection that is used in a model, any varying attribute members in the model that reference the old connection name will be out of synch. You must edit the varying attribute members to reference the new data source connection name. In the Essbase Model Properties dialog box, locate the varying attribute members and access the Edit Varying Attributes dialog box. In the Independent Dimension Settings group:
If the varying attribute type is “Individual”, edit the expression in the From column.
If the varying attribute type is “Range”, edit the expressions in the From and To columns.
See Setting Varying Attributes for Members for information on creating and editing varying attributes.
