Importing metadata from an Essbase data source in a repository in which there is already a datasource Essbase might encounter this error:

which blocks the import of metadata.


To work you need to edit the properties of the existing connection and set the source database as Essbase 9 (or 11, depending on what was your db). Now import the metadata will be successful and then we reset, in the properties of the connection, the existing value.
