GMS 2.0 not removing MasterItems fimported from earlier version of GMS.

Hi,
After updating to newest GMS version the earlier imported measures using GMS is not removed and overwrittin by measures from the new version.

What looks like happens is that the old measures has their tags removed. New measures are imported as copies with tags and new object ID's. This leaves the app with "incomplete visualization" in objects cause Sense cannot find the old Master Items.

I do not know what happens "behind the scenes", but this is unfortunately not good. One thing is to renew all the objects in the app. Another thing is that all reports made in NPrinting has to be redesigned.

I've noticed that the old GMS made a tag off Custom Property Name and ID from Excel Metrics. This tag has changes to only the Custom Property. Unfortunately NPrinting is using this tag as identifier for the field and when this tag changes - NPrinting cannot find the field.

Can you help me solve some of the above problems ?

If so - a remote session is fine with me så that you can see what is happing.

Thank you for your prompt answer !

Best regards,

Sune

@Messmann ,

GMS 2.0 introduced some new capabilities requiring a change in how the app portion of the service is configured. Please consult the user guide here for more information on retaining existing deployed metrics: http://eapowertools.github.io/GovernedMetricsService/user-guide/app/#field-definitions-and-structure

@Messmann, following up. Is this still an issue. The lookup tool should allow you to find the old ids. Going to be doing some updates in the next couple weeks so I'd like to know if you continue to experience issues.
