[BuketP]

Hi, 

Is there anyone who succeded copying attachment files one period to another period ? There is a getdataattachment function, however I don´t see setdataattachment. 

Thanks in advance

Hi @BuketP, the information is in the DataAttachment Table.  It looks like you could write a query to do this, get the records with the attachments you want to copy, change the value in the time column and insert.  That should do it.

Here's an example that would copy all the attachments in Jan 2011 to Feb 2011:

INSERT INTO DataAttachment (
    [UniqueID],
    [Cube],
    [Entity],
    [Parent],
    [Cons],
    [Scenario],
    [Time],
    [Account],
    [Flow],
    [Origin],
    [IC],
    [UD1],
    [UD2],
    [UD3],
    [UD4],
    [UD5],
    [UD6],
    [UD7],
    [UD8],
    [Title],
    [AttachmentType],
    [CreatedUserName],
    [CreatedTimestamp],
    [LastEditedUserName],
    [LastEditedTimestamp],
    [Text],
    [FileName],
    [FileBytes]
)
SELECT
    NEWID() AS [UniqueID], 
    [Cube],
    [Entity],
    [Parent],
    [Cons],
    [Scenario],
    '2011M2' AS [Time], -- Set Time to whatever period you want
    [Account],
    [Flow],
    [Origin],
    [IC],
    [UD1],
    [UD2],
    [UD3],
    [UD4],
    [UD5],
    [UD6],
    [UD7],
    [UD8],
    [Title],
    [AttachmentType],
    [CreatedUserName],
    [CreatedTimestamp],
    [LastEditedUserName],
    [LastEditedTimestamp],
    [Text],
    [FileName],
    [FileBytes]
FROM
    DataAttachment
WHERE
    [Time] = '2011M1';
