Migrating Changes to Siebel Analytics Requests and Filters
When you create and save requests and filters in Siebel Analytics Web, the objects are saved in the Web Catalog. The requests and filters are saved with the logical object references as they exist in the Siebel Analytics metadata in the Presentation Layer of the Siebel Analytics Server Administration Tool.
If the Presentation Layer metadata that affects these is changed through the renaming of objects, aliases are maintained for these objects that the Web Catalog can reference.
However, if the Presentation Layer metadata changes through the following ways, the link from the stored object in the Web Catalog to the metadata will be broken:
- Aliases are deleted.
- Objects are moved between Presentation Catalog Folders in the presentation layer.
To repair those links within a stored request, you need to refresh the requests and filters.
To refresh requests and filters
- Log on to Siebel Analytics Web and access Siebel Answers.
- Open the broken request and click the Advanced tab.
- Click the Enter SQL link.
- Change the FROM clause to reference the new Subject Area (Catalog Folder in the Presentation Layer) where the SELECT columns now reside.
- If the column names have been changed, those changes must also be applied.
- Reapply any required filters using the new Presentation Layer definitions.
- Redefine any affected saved filters using the new Presentation Layer definitions.
The changes are applied the next time that the Siebel Analytics Server service and the IIS Admin Service are started.
