The Rename Utility is a standalone application designed to update objects in a Web Analysis repository based on the data source metadata changes. For example, if a member name, and/or dimension name changes in an Essbase® or Essbase cube, the utility searches the repository and changes all objects (such as documents and database connections) to reflect the metadata changes. The metadata change mapping must be created in a map file, as there is no direct link to the data source to detect the changes.
Please note, the utility supports only Essbase and Essbase data sources.
Documents
Database formatting
Essbase and Essbase database connections
Personal variable definitions
POV definitions
These metadata changes are supported:
Renaming references to existing dimensions (name and alias/description)
Renaming references to existing members (name and alias/description)
Adding references to new dimensions (default member selected)
Note: | The Rename Utility installer is not included as part of the Web Analysis installer. See Rename Utility Installation. |
