Replace the Referenced Database Object

You can replace the database object referenced by a customization when you need to switch to a different table, view, or synonym, or when the object schema has changed.

The Replace Object option lets you update the referenced database object without deleting and recreating the customization. This preserves the existing configuration and settings, so you don’t need to re-enter them. Before replacing the object, ensure that the new table, view, or synonym includes all currently selected columns required by the customization.

1. Navigate to the Semantic Model Extensions page.
2. Under Customizations Sandbox, hover over the sandbox to display Actions, and then click View Sandbox.
3. On the selected sandbox Details page, click Perform Action, and then select Manage Logical Star.
4. In Perform Action, select Edit Logical Star.
5. Select the logical star that contains the customization whose referenced database object you want to replace, and then click Next.
6. Right-click the customization, and then select Edit.
7. Click Replace Object.
8. If required, select a different schema from the Schema drop-down list, and then select the new database object from the Object drop-down list.
9. If the new object contains all required columns, review the changes, click Next through the remaining steps.
10. Click Finish and save your changes.
    If the new object doesn’t contain all required columns, an error message is displayed and the customization is automatically reverted to the original object.
