You can rename members in the Dimension Library. Keep in mind these guidelines (organized by the application type):
All Applications: You cannot rename system members—members with names displayed in brackets [].
Consolidation (Financial Management)
For Financial Management applications, renaming only applies to Performance Management Architect, not Classic Administration features. After a rename, these artifacts are not updated automatically in Financial Management:
Rules
Member Lists
Web Data Entry Forms
Data Grids
Reports
POVs
Period, Year, and View members should not be renamed after the first successful deployment of the application
If the default currency member is renamed, the application property, Default Currency, must be manually updated for existing Financial Management applications
Planning
You cannot rename Currency members
You cannot rename Year members
For Profitability applications, if you rename members after the initial deployment, you must redeploy the application.
Note: |
When you deploy applications, the log file notes all renamed members and all items that are not automatically updated. |
