Cube structure to be "redone" everytime on changing Data Source in Analysis Services20

Hi Folks,

I have a strange discovery. This use to work fine with AS 2000.

Here's the problem : I have a AS 2005 cube "Cube1", existing with all the functionality. I want to test some things - so I did cube "Save As" tstCube1. Now tstCube1 is my test cube. I changed the data source in tstCube1 to a "new" SQL database ( this new database is exactly the same schema structure as compared to the schema that original Cube1 refers). Here's what I see now in tstCube1 -- all the calculated members, relationships in data source view, all hierarchies -- all gone. I don't see them in tstCube1, although I see them in original Cube1.

Do I have to redo the cube structure everytime I change a datasource. This could be a potential nightmare - because on migrating cubes from Dev -> Test--> Production, I have to change the data sources all the time. Does this mean everytime I change the data source -- the whole cube has to be redone.

Your suggestions are most welcomed. Thanks for any ideas...

There is a difference between moving to a new data source and editing the existing data source to point to a different database. I edit the data source connect string all of the time.
