Viewing Metadata Load Changes

After a metadata file has been successfully loaded, you can view detailed information about the metadata changes made during the load process. For example, if an attribute was changed in the Account dimension, the system displays the old attribute and the new attribute values. You can view a report of this information from the Task Audit module.

The metadata load changes report includes these details:

• Members added

• Members deleted

• Member attribute changes (does not include description changes)

• New parent/child relationships

• Deleted parent/child relationships

• Changes in aggregation weight for Parent-Child relationships in Custom dimensions
