Deleting Members

Deleted members that are descendants of members referenced in rules decrease the number of source or destinations affected by rules. If a member that is referenced directly in a rule is deleted, the rule becomes invalid and is disabled if it is run in a calculation. Deleting a member does not remove the reference to that member in application artifacts. To prevent problems, run the Model Validation reports after every dimension update.

To repair rules that are invalid due to deleted members, open the rule for editing and save it. This removes the reference to the deleted member. Users can also choose to add another member reference and save the rule.
