Why did my workflows  automatically change its configuration to use new name of cubeview?

Happy Labor Day for USA. Happy gas shortages, high electric bills and soon coming freezing winters for many of us around the world. I renamed my Cubeview from CV1  to CV2_deleteVersion08302022. Why ...

    Simply by design, so that you can rename things and not have to rework everything that utilises the renamed object. In reality nothing has changed in your workflow because it would be referring to the cubeview by ID behind the scenes rather than the name.

    Funnily though I've actually wanted to be able to rename things and be able to switch something else in! It does come in useful sometimes. But you can work around it with export/import and some tweaks.

I understand - it's referential integrity.  Oracle Planning/ Essbase doesn't have that, so I was pleasantly surprised.

Thanks.

    Same here - there should be an option to turn off referential integrity. Yes, that's what I did - workaround using Load/Extract. Thanks again buddy.

    Happy Labor day weekend!!
