Managing Alias Tables

When you enable a Planning module, alias tables are loaded only for the default language, rather than for all of the supported languages.

For new applications, after you enable a module, you can use a new option, Manage Seeded Alias Tables, to load alias tables for other languages.

For existing applications, you can remove alias tables for languages you don’t need.

To add or delete alias tables:

  1. From the Navigator, under Create and Manage, click Alias Tables.
  2. From the Actions menu, click Manage Seeded Alias Tables iconManage Seeded Alias Tables (available after you have enabled a module).
  3. Select the languages you want to load, or clear the selection for languages you want to delete and then click OK.
  4. After the languages load, refresh the cube.

Notes about managing alias tables.

  • You can load up to 30 alias tables in Planning Modules.

  • When you incrementally enable features or new modules, alias tables are loaded for your selected languages for any new members.
  • If you’ve customized any labels in an alias table, those customizations are applied to any new members added when you incrementally enable features.
