Removing Orphaned Members

If you select to show only orphaned members, you can easily remove orphaned members from the member list.

Caution!

A metadata file that contains orphaned members cannot be scanned or loaded into an application.

  To remove orphaned members:

  1. Ensure that the Tree View tab is selected, and from the Metadata Item drop-down list, select a dimension.

  2. On the right side of the Metadata Manager workspace, select the Member List tab.

  3. Select Only Show Orphaned Members to display the orphaned members of the selected dimension.

  4. Highlight members, right-click, and select Remove Highlighted Members.

    Note:

    To remove all orphaned members, right-click, and select Select All.
