To delete dimension values, use the -replace option of the rundimdata command line program. This marks all dimension values that are not included in the import file for deletion. To delete the data permanently, the analysis server must be completely reinitialized. Therefore, the recovery files of the analysis server relevant for process analysis are recreated by default after import. After the import, the command line program outputs a corresponding message.
If you want to delete all dimension data of a dimension, import a semantically empty file.
The option -replace to replace or delete dimension values implies the option -overwrite. Therefore, you must not specify the option -overwrite in the command line when using the option -replace.
