Modifying the Direct Query to Analysis Services connection deletes all Joins and Measures created in the local model
Updating the Direct Query to Analysis Services connection to a new dataset in the same or new Workspace with exactly the same data model causes the local model to delete all related Measures and Joins created in the Local model. As a result when initially building a model against a Test data model, all Measures and Joins need to be recreated after connecting to the Production data model.
