Hello Sveltana,
First let me thank you for your answer, it opens my mind in order to propose better solution to my user community.
I've tried your solution and it almost fits all my needs but it shows up slightly differently than what you were talking about.
The system cubes created with the
CubeAttrInsert( '', 'Caption', 'A');
and
DimensionAttrInsert('', 'Caption', 'A');
TI commands are called
}CubeAttributes
and
}DimensionAttributes
and not
}CubeCaption
&
}DimensionCaption
. These cubes only get 2 dimensions
}Cubes
&
}CubeAttributes
.
This being said, there no place in the user interface to switch on the fly from one caption to another, once you've entered a value for a Cube/Caption, it's being used in PASS and PAW. I've got few ideas to propose a user interface for this so it's not a big deal.
And lastly, this gives me an idea for the next April's fool giving weird caption to all my cubes and dimensions :-)
Regards,

Hi Bob,
You could create captions for your cubes and dimensions for the same language - exactly as you explained, just to display to the group of the users slightly different names for the objects in the same language. Here I have a screenshot where the name of the cubes being displayed in the tree is not the original cube names. You could go through the Control Object cube }CubeCaptions and enter your different cube name for the same language there. If this control cube is not available, you may try to run the TI process to create it aprx as following: CubeAttrInsert( '', 'Caption', 'A');
CubeAttrPutS( 'New Name for users', 'JohnOCube', 'Caption', 'en' ); Note that the other control cubes with }Caption dimension (i.e }LocalizedCubeAttributes would get this value as well. Hope this helps.
Best Regards,
Svetlana

Subject: Cubes & Dimensions aliases
Hello Community,
Following what's written in the documentation, I succeeded in creating aliases for cubes & dimensions and in order to use it in PASS or PAW, I do understand that you have to change my internet browser default language.
I was wondering if there was not another option to activate it, just like for dimension members aliases where you can change the alias table used on the fly without any Internet browser configuration.
My use case is linked to the fact that we're defining corporate cubes & dimensions and deploying them over a set of business specific databases in which these corporate objects could have a slightly different name.
Thanks for your help.
Regards,
