How to Rename a member?

Hi all,I should move and rename some members (automatically). I haven't found and easy way to do that so I write you to ask your experiences about it.Any idea would be welcome !Thanks in advance

Moving members can be accomplished with a load rule performing a dimension build. Just create your text file with the new hierarchial relationship and rebuild the outline.butrenaming an existing member sounds like a task for the outline api.from the html api help:Declare Function EsbOtlRenameMember Lib "ESBOTLW" (ByVal hOutline As Long, ByVal hMember As Long,ByVal pszNewMember As String) As LongSub ESB_OtlRenameMember()Dim sts As LongDim Object As ESB_OBJDEF_TDim hOutline As LongDim hMemProfit As LongObject.hCtx = hCtxObject.Type = ESB_OBJTYPE_OUTLINEObject.AppName = "Sample"Object.DbName = "Basic"Object.FileName = "Basic"sts = EsbOtlOpenOutline(hCtx, Object, ESB_YES, ESB_YES, hOutline) If sts = 0 Then sts = EsbOtlFindMember(hOutline, "Profit", hMemProfit) End IfIf sts = 0 And hMemberProfit <> 0 Then sts = EsbOtlRenameMember(hOutline, hMemProfit, "Prelim Profit") End IfEnd Subbtw: need to add esbinit to initialize the api and also esbautologin to login before peforming this code.

  • How to rename a column name in a table? Thanks first!

    I tried to drop a column age from table student by writing the
    following in the sql plus environment as :
    SQL> alter table student drop column age ;
    but I found the following error
    ORA-00905: &#32570;&#23569;&#20851;&#38190;&#23383; (Lack of Key word)
    I have oracle enterprise edition 8.0.5 installed at windows 2000
    thank you
    And I want to know how to rename a column name in a table?
    thanks

    In Oracle 8i, your syntax would have worked.  However, if I
    recall correctly, in Oracle 8.0, you can't rename or drop a
    column directly.  One way to get around that problem is to
    create another table based on a select statement from your
    original table, providing the new column name as an alias if you
    want to change the column name, or omitting that column from the
    select statement if you just want to drop it.  Then drop the
    original table.  Then re-create the original table based on a
    select statement from the other table.  Then you can drop the
    other table.  Here is an example:
    CREATE TABLE temporary_table_name
    AS
    SELECT age AS new_column_name,
           other_columns
    FROM   student
    DROP TABLE student
    CREATE TABLE student
    AS
    SELECT *
    FROM   temporary_table_name
    DROP TABLE temporary_table_name
    Something that you need to consider before doing this is
    dependencies.  You need to make a list of all your dependecies
    before you do this, so that you can re-create them afterwards. 
    If there are a lot of them, it might be worthwhile to do
    something else, like creating a view with an alias for the
    column or just providing an alias in a select.  It depends on
    what you need the different column name for.

  • How to Rename a Topic ID in Map File to Avoid Conflict with Another Program?

    Robo 8 HTML:
    Can somebody assist me in understanding how to rename a topic ID in my map.h file?
    An application programmer informs me there are nine topic IDs (shown below) in my project map file which conflict with predefined names of constants/functions from the Visual Studio Libs program and, is requesting I change the names of the topics listed below to resolve topic ID conflict in order to enable F1 call for these topics.
    #define Open    59
    #define Save    60
    #define Print   63
    #define Cut     72
    #define Copy    73
    #define Paste   74
    #define Clear   75
    #define Status  81
    #define Substructure  139
    Can I simply alter the topic names and retain their associated map numbers in <Create/Edit Map ID> dialog to resolve the map file conflict with Visual Studio Libs program functions? Or, is there more work involved in changing a topic name in a map.h file?
    Any assistance with this question is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    robert

    Hi,
    Simply renaming the TopicID's in the .h file won't work. The TopicID is used in the alias file (projectname.ali) to link a map number with a topic. Also, you can use either TopicID's or map numbers to call the help. (Using TopicID's only works for WebHelp afaik.)
    If you use map numbers to call the help, you can rename the TopicID using the mentioned dialog. No problem.
    If you want to change the ID from the files, you have to change both the .h file as the .ali file. No changes to topics needed.

  • How to rename a file in Application server

    Hi All,
    Here I have a issue with  the present file which is being generated in application server.
    Before the completion of the file the EDI tool is extracting the file from the app server.So here I would like to generate the file with a temp name and then rename to the actual file name which EDI recognises and fetches.
    Please correct me If I am wrong and let me know how to rename the file in application server.
    Thanks,
    Vijay N

    you can try using unix command , if your application server is unix.
    use move command
    mv   <source>  <target>
    REPORT ZUNIX line-size 400
                    no standard page heading.
    data: unixcom like   rlgrap-filename.  
    unixcom = 'mv file1 file2'.
    data: begin of tabl occurs 500,
            line(400),
          end of tabl.
    data: lines type i.
    start-of-selection.
      refresh tabl.
      call 'SYSTEM' id 'COMMAND' field unixcom
                    id 'TAB'     field tabl[].
    or else you can open dataset/ read the dataset and move it to another file and delete the old file.

  • How to tag attribute member with standard dimension member in EIS

    hi,

    THANK U IN ADVANCE

    In your OLAP model, view columns for the base dimension table. Go into the column properties and for the columns that have Attribute values highlight them and click the Attribute button.
    Go into Metadata Model and those fields will be available to drag into your outline as attribute members.
    Once in the outline, go into the properties of the attribute and assign the level of the base dimension they associate with.

  • How to rename the column name in oracle 8i?

    hi,
    Does anyone know how to rename the column name in oracle 8i?My method was drop the relationship key first then delete the old column,finally add the new column.
    Thanks for your replay.
    jing

    There is no facilty to rename a column name in Oracle 8i. This is possible from Oracle 9.2 version onwards.
    For you task one example given below.
    Example:-
    Already existed table is ITEMS
    columns in ITEMS are ITID, ITEMNAME.
    But instead of ITID I want ITEMID.
    Solution:-
    step 1 :- create table items_dup
    as select itid itemid, itemname from items;
    step 2 :- drop table items;
    step 3 :- rename items_dup to items;
    Result:-
    ITEMS table contains columns ITEMID, ITEMNAME

  • How to rename folder in Final Cut Pro X project library?

    How to rename folder in Final Cut Pro X project library? I can't double click on folder, when I right click it just gives options to erase. Can someone help?

    I think you may have misunderstood - the question is regarding renaming a project "folder", not a project name.
    Still, the accepted answer here makes no sense to me at all - it's about renaming an event. So we're all confused ;-)
    BTW as of 10.0.5, I still cannot rename a project folder while background tasks are running - no clue is given that this is what's going on, second-clicking on the folder just (frustratingly) does nothing. When background tasks finish, it works again.

  • How to remove a member from cluster while CQ (cq5.5) instances are running?

    Hello,
    I have a query:
    how to remove a member from cluster while CQ instances are running? And is there any particular log to check that it got removed?
    Thanks in advance..

    I might be wrong. AFAIK you do not have the option to remove without shutting down and modfying cluster.properties.
    However this usecase would be minimal because before going into production you would have verified your architecture.

    Ravi,
    You cant change the Technical name of the cube but you can change the description of the Cube. If you want to have a Cube with the same properties and with different Techname and Description better you do copy from the base cube and rename as per your requirement.
