3. Replace all references to original dimension names with converted dimension names.

4. Replace all references to original data cube names with converted data cube names.

Note. If a dimension name and data cube name share the same name in the original model and one or

both names contain more than 30 characters, the dimension name retains the original part name in

the converted analytic model. If the BAM model contains rules or user functions that reference data

cubes that share the same names as dimensions, the converted rules and user functions reference the

dimensions instead. Developers must resolve these issues. The PTAEACECONV conversion log file

indicates all data cubes and dimensions that fall into this category.

5. Replace all ref

erences to the original user function names with converted user function names.

Data Cubes

The PTAEACECONV Application Engine program converts all data cubes and most data cube attributes.

Note. Data cube values are not converted. Application developers are responsible for converting data cube

values.

The following data cube attributes are unaffected by the conversion:

• These data cube formats:

-Text.

Note. The Width property is not converted.

- Number

Note. Digit and Decimal properties are not converted.

-Member.

- Date.

Note. The Dimension Name property is not converted.

• These virtual data cube properties:

- Is virtual.

- Is not virtual.

• Notes.

• Attachments to dimensions.

The following d

ata cube attributes are changed during conversion:
