Renaming Elements in Cognos TM1 Dimension

Reanming Elements in a Dimension:

We can rename an element in a TM1 dimension by using a function called SwapAliasWithPrincipalName

Steps:

1. Create a new alias "new" in the Dimension, by default the new elements are identical
2. Change all required elements to their new names in the "new" created alias
3. Create a new TI process with the following line in the Prolog:
• SwapAliasWithPrincipalName(Dimension,'new',0);
4. The third parameter needs to be zero to execute the swap. If it has any other purpose, please edit/leave a comment
