Thanks Gianni and Christian. We have folks developing ad-hoc analyses and saving them to a shared folder structure that they don't want to inadvertantly blow away. At the same time, they'd at least like to be able to rename analyses that they own. I understand the logic with regarding to objects that may be dependent on…

Well, never mind... this doesn't quite work. If I report at the month level but filter at the day level--even if I don't include the DAY in the output--OBIEE is summing "month to date" budget counts across all days of the month. So this approach does not work as expected. Will look at level-based measures again. -John

To solve this particular problem, I made my Monthly Budgeted Amount a "ToDate" sum of budgeted appointments at the Appointment Date > Appointment Month level. Given that the monthly budget amount returns for the first day of the month only, a "ToDate" function will always return the monthly amount, regardless of which day…

I think I've figured out how best to handle this. Sometimes it takes writing a forum post to sort yourself out. Will post solution if it works as expected.

I'm not applying changes between each of those steps, just when the documentation says to do it. If there's no harm in applying changes at each step, I may…

Yep, going through the doco step by step. Unfortunately I've hit a wall after configuring the BISQLGroupProvider. Attempting to apply changes results in [Management:141245] Schema Validation Error in config/config.xml see log for details. The logs aren't forthcoming. About to create an SR but if the community has thoughts,…

Thanks! Working through the steps now.
