Update attributes without full dimension sync

Pulse Pulse Questions

Without doing a full dimension sync is there any way to make pulse

1/ update the rule from a }ElementAttributes cube?
2/ Do AttrInsert / AttrDelete for added or removed attriutes?

The only way I can figure out how to make Pulse do either of these action on the target is to select the dimension in the package but then DESELECT all the element actions. I’m hoping there is a way to do it.

Element actions are not wanted as Prod has completely different elements to Dev and we only want to create the new attributes and the rule.

Hi @cw-ch-scott,

You can use the source control package to achieve what you are looking for. By selecting the you the .dimx file, this will automatically add the .RUX of the element attributes cube. After, remove the .dimd file from the dependencies, so that the elements of the target server are not affected.

Regards,

Erik

Thanks @ecarmona
I’m wondering if it’s a bug then. I didn’t use source control (since the rule wasn’t altered that recently) but manual package. I selected the dimension, then selected the rule from the dependenciesm and then deselected the dimension. But then yet when the package was finalized both the dimd and dimix were in the items folder.
