Using Analytics Catalog Manager to Rename Items in the Siebel Analytics Web Catalog

You can use Analytics Catalog Manager to rename items in the Web Catalog. This can be useful when you are migrating from a development environment to a production environment.

In production environments, you may prefer to use the Manage Catalog screen in the Siebel Analytics Web user interface to rename items. Doing so allows you to preserve references that other users might have to the prior name of the item. References are not preserved when you use Analytics Catalog Manager to rename items. For more information about the Manage Catalog screen, see Administering Items in the Siebel Analytics Web Catalog.
