To import an action into a virtual cube

Analysis Manager

You can only import actions from cubes that are in the same database as the edited virtual cube.

If you import an action with the same name as an action already in the virtual cube, the imported action is given a new name consisting of its old name and a numeric suffix.

When you import an action, you will see an error message if the action's definition includes a measure, dimension, or other object that is not in the virtual cube or if there are syntax errors. The action is not included in the virtual cube data displayed to end users as long as the error exists. To correct the error, you can:

• Add the missing measure, dimension, or object to the virtual cube and process it. To add a measure or dimension, use the Virtual Cube Wizard. To start Virtual Cube Wizard from within Virtual Cube Editor, on the Edit menu, click Structure... (Wizard).

• Edit the action with the error and remove from its definition the measure, dimension, or object that is not in the virtual cube. For more information, see Editing an Action in a Virtual Cube.
