Troubleshooting
Problem
When add new alias, "Duplicate Aliases are not allowed" error occur while there are no same alias.
Cause
Customer created Caption and same alias name existed in the Caption.
Diagnosing The Problem
Check following cubes whether duplicate alias name exist or not.
Alias
}ElementAttributes_<dim name>
Caption
}LocalizedElementAttributes_<dim name>
Resolving The Problem
Alias value should be unique in the set and should be consistent among element.
Example:
Dimension Product has following element and aliases.
Element Name | Color | Alias2 |
Car | Black | |
Wagon | White | |
Truck | Red |
You can set Black in Alias2 of Car but if you try to set White, you encounter "Duplicate Aliases are not allowed".
Same thing happens if duplicate names exist in Caption.
If you have large dimension, export cube for following cubes makes easier to check duplication.
}ElementAttributes_<dim name>
}LocalizedElementAttributes_<dim name>
