Title: Pointing reports to new cube
Post by: TEL on 01 Feb 2008 04:49:00 AM
Hi All,



I'm currently using cube groups and want to create a standard report to be used on each of the cubes in the groups. Having written the report against one cube I created a copy of the report and pointed it at another cube in the group which gave me errors.



Could anyone suggest a simple method of re pointing a report from one cube to another (different name same structure) without having to redefine each item in the report.



Thanks in advance

You can edit the model.xml to point to new data source.
If you are doing that in different environment, you can use different underlying cube with same data source name and report should not complain if all the dimensions, levels etc are same.
