I've read this thread:
How to Transport New Dimension to QA
I am not sure this answers my question. So, we only have DEV and PROD - no QA, at the moment. We added a new dimension to an existing model in DEV and tested that everything works as expected. Now, we need to collect the transort to promote to PROD. In the thread, above, it is suggested to delete the model from the target environment and then import the transport from the source to the target.
How does this work with the transaction data. In reality, all of the existing data in the model should be applied to one member of the new dimension, but there is nothing that allows you to determine which member that should be. Does this mean we need to load the transaction data from PROD into DEV to populate the model such that the import into PROD already includes the transaction data?
