SYMPTOMS

When you delete a private dimension from a cube and then add a private dimension with the exact same name as the dimension you just removed, the Cube Editor may stop responding (hang) when you attempt to save the cube. This will only occur when the repository has been migrated to Meta Data Services repository format.

CAUSE

During the save process of the cube, the Cube Editor checks to see if all objects that exist in the repository also exist in memory. The comparison that the Cube Editor performs only checks the name of the object, not the ID. Because the new private dimension is added with the exact same name as the deleted private dimension, the entry is never removed from the repository and there will be two entries for the same object.
