In response, we have: 

1. Archived the predecessors (2010=100, January 2005 to December 2017) by renaming with an "_10" specifier, marking metadata as "discontinued", and by segregating in the catalog. 
2. Created one-for-one replacements. Figures are in constant (Vol. Index 2015=100) and current (Index 2015=100) prices, not seasonally adjusted (NSA), and start at January 2010. The activity classification is ÖNACE 2008.
3. Standardized mnemonics and metadata. 

The active series reside in the historical catalog (Austria » Consumer » Wholesale and retail sales index » Monthly) and the predecessors under the associated "discontinued" node. They include, for example: 

• WRIRASMMR_10UM.IAUT = [DISCONTINUED] Turnover: Wholesale of food; beverages and tobacco, (Vol. Index 2010=100, NSA)
• WRIRAVAFUM.IAUT     = Retail sale of electrical goods and furniture [47.43; 47.52 to 47.54; 47.59; 47.63], (Index 2015=100, NSA)
• WRI47UM.IAUT        = Turnover: Retail trade excl. motor vehicles and motorcycles [47], (Index 2015=100, NSA)
• WRJ465UM.IAUT       = Wholesale of information and communication equipment [46.5], (Vol. Index 2015=100, NSA)

Because catalog locations are subject to change, the upper-right search box on DataBuffet.com provides a "find in catalog" mode that accepts a mnemonic.
