Hi,
It seems that the unique name of the members of a user hierarchy changed in SSAS 2017 compared to older versions. This causes a problem to one of our tools. E. g. in a hierarchy containing Year-Qtr-Month as levels, the unique name for the Month "January 2019" is now
[Period].[Year-Qtr-Mth].[Year].&[2019].&[20191].&[201901]
while in older versions of SSAS, it was
[Period].[Year-Qtr-Mth].[Month].&[201901]
i. e. it seems SSAS 2017 generates the unique name as the path through the ancestors, while before it was the level and then the member key.
is there a setting to get back to the old style?
Actually, I am not sure if i accidentally hit any configuration setting of the cube, dimension, or hierarchy that changed the behavior. But that seems unlikely, as this new behavior occurs for two cubes that I created newly in SSAS 2017.
