I'm trying to customize a single cube, and to make this faster I'm trying to create an Analysis Services Project with just one cube, say the Inventory cube. This is on AX 2012 R3 CU8.
When the wizard completes, it offers to save it to the AOT and to the file system. When it saves it to the AOT, upon expanding that new node, and the child Project Content node, there are never any files. By contrast, when you expand the Dynamics AX project, you can see many dimensions, roles, etc.
If I navigate to the folder where it saved the files, they are there, the same dimensions, roles, etc. If I Import the project from the Analysis Services Projects node in the AOT, it imports the .dwproj file and creates the node, but again nothing else imports into the Project Content node underneath.
Consequently, quite a lot of the time when I right click on the project to Edit, I get an error. I don't have that error in front of me right now because it has decided to work again, but it's intermittent.
This all seems strange. Why is it not storing the rest of the files in the AOT with the rest of the project? Why does a custom project not behave like the standard project?
Thanks in advance!
