Modifying Data Mart Instance Properties

On the Data Mart instance's Properties screen, click Update to enter changes. Oracle LSH creates a new version of the instance you are working on and applies your changes to it when you click Apply. Click Cancel to discard your changes and the new version.

You can modify some properties through the Actions drop-down list; see Using the Actions Drop-Down List for further information.

Note:

You must install the new version for the changes to take effect.

• Name: See Naming Objects for further information.

• Description: See Creating and Using Object Descriptions for further information.

• Definition Source: This field applies to the instance only. It specifies the Data Mart definition to which this Data Mart instance points. It generally does not make sense to change the source definition for the following reasons:

  • Changing the definition may result in a new set of Table Descriptors, Parameters, and Planned Outputs.

  • Any new Table Descriptors are not mapped.

  • The Data Mart's status changes to Non Installable.

  If you want to change to a new version of the same definition, use the Upgrade Instance option from the Actions drop-down list.

  Note:

  It is possible to select a new source definition of a different Data Mart type. Exercise caution when selecting a different definition.
