Rename in Answers

I created 40 or 50 report and some dashboards. Now I have to rename a few column in Presentation Layer of the Admin Tool. I know that creating alias I can rename the column. The problem is that this modification will be visible only in the left panels or in the new report. The previous reports work but maintain the old names. Is there a way to modify also the names of the old report!

Hi,
have you tried with Catalog Manager:
To rename an item with reference updates
1 In Catalog Manager, open the Presentation Catalog in offline mode.
2 Navigate to the item to be renamed.
3 Right-click the item in the Name column and choose Smart Rename.
4 Type a new name for the item.
NOTE: A progress bar in the lower right-hand corner of the window shows the progress of the
reference updates.

Haven't tried it but sounds promising ;)

  • Variable in Report Title?

    Hi I'm fairly new to ORACLE BI and want to output the Date in the Filename of the reports when the users run them. So when they download the report as XLS PDF etc is shows "filename DD-MM-YY".
    Is this possible?
    Many Thanks
    Ed

    ahh, now I see what you're talking. Here's the issue you're running into. The download report doesn't use the title as the download file name. Instead, it uses the physical name of the report in OBIEE. So even if you add the system date to the title of the report, it won't affect the download name. It just happens that both the download name and the title default to the name of the Answer Request.
    So if you really wanted someone to download it with a date already in the file name, you have two options:
    1) Physically rename the Answer Request periodically to indicate the last time it was refreshed. The issue here is that links to this Request will get outdated fast. And it's not the prettiest solution
    2) You'd have to go into the Javascript behind OBIEE and edit how it generates the download file. I checked out the web page source code for the download link and here's where you'd want to start digging: onclick="return NQWPopupMenu(event,'idDownloadLinksMenud:dashboard~p:ngm14ept52q4tcnt~r:dr2ss84kj32lkjoi')"
    That NQWPopupMenu function is what generates the pop up window with the different file outputs. Once you dig through there, it will eventually lead you through the script that does the excel outputting. Once you find the piece of code that creates the output file, it should be as simple as appending a sysdate to the file name.
    Good luck!

  • HT1789 how to rename my ipod in the latest version of iTunes as this support answer is about an old version of iTunes!?

    How can I rename my iPod in the most recent versionof iTunes 11.0.2??  This support answer is with regard to an old version of iTunes.  I'd really like to rename it.
    Thanks for any help you can provide.

    Thank you.  I don't understand why Apple insists on leaving the old support info up there and every query seems to point to it.  Yours was the only useful answer I've found.

  • Export & Renaming  -  Newbie to Lightroom seeks answers.

    I shoot stills for various networks and fortunately (or unfortunately) Aperture has been pretty good to me as an organizational tool where I can edit down images, maybe do some lighting adjustments if it's on a soundstage, then rename them and add metadata and then export them.  It's very easy to batch edit metadata, and everything gets put into the JPEGS and TIFFS that I have to deliver.  I shoot (RAW) on Nikon D3S/D4.  Aperture renames the masters......and the masters names match the jpeg version names if for some reason I need to go back to it and re-export or tweak something for my portfolio. 
    Needless to say, on a side-project shoot recently, I decided to take the plunge, get Lightroom 4 and give it a try.  I like some of the image editing tools....masks and what not are great. And in my heart I think Lightroom is probably a much better solution in the long run.  Like I said, image editing --good results there....but this renaming/exporting business....holy crap.  I've spent three days so far trying to do this.  Need some of your expert help because my workflow that existed can no longer exist in the Lightroom world.
    Here's what I can't do:
    I can't make new versions or (in LR wording) virtual copies (say one black and white, and one color) of the same image and export it as an individual.  Or rename it in sequence.  It always reverts to the master's name.  This is very frustrating.  I re-order my images (to group certain scenes together) in the library/folder view, then I go to rename, and it's great except for those virtual copies.  If I've expanded a stack in a folder, it should rename all images in sequence....it's trying to out think me.  And to that end, it's probably working. 
    But this is a big problem....because I now have two VideoShoot_32_10222012 images (one a color NEF and one a black and white NEF * Copy) and when exported, one is called VideoShoot_32_10222012.jpg  and the other is VideoShoot_32_10222012-2.jpg.  And of course is not where I want it numbered wise -- in my custom grouping.  So it messes that up by one image number.....I've tried different ways to do this. Including just deciding to take one of the copies out and only have the master. 
    I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO DECIDE TO TAKE IMAGES OUT OF MY LIBRARY TO EXPORT EFFICIENTLY. 
    So, any pearls of wisdom?  Do I have to edit and change metadata (on the raw) in Capture NX2 and then pull into Lightroom?  Do I then export images as JPEGS, TIFFS and keep an archived DNG file?
    Thanks --
    Jeremiah

    When LR is told to use the filename in its export naming setup; or when you use the Renaming option for the image file itself; LR has no choice but to repeat the exact same naming for virtual copies, because the same single file is being referred to - both master and virtual copy share that.
    But you can include "copy name" within the naming setup at export, as well as the filename. That way, these various versions will each produce consistent, unique-named output (by default, new VCs are created as "Copy 1", "Copy 2" etc but you can then alter that as you wish).
    Another thing you could do, is to include a sequence # or image # as part of the export filename - 001, 002, 003... -  image 08 of 36 - that kind of thing. But this numbering might easily then differ for future exports of the same image(s) from LR; which is not ideal IMO.

    You can't delete an iCloud account.
    Once it is attached to an AppleID it is attached forever.
    You can edit the name on your iCloud account or setup an email alias if you made a mistake with the email address.

  • Mail OS wont open, it just says "program not answering"

    I just intalled the latest update, and now when i click to open mail OS, i wont open the program, i just gives the message "Program not answerin" when i right click on the mail icon.

    I USED THIS PROCESS :
    Get Pacifist.
    Download Safari 5.1.7 for Lion.
    Quit Safari if running.
    Install Safari 5.1.7 using Pacifist. Select "Open Package", choose the 5.1.7 dmg from step 2. Click on the "Contents of Safari5.1.7LionManual.pkg", then click "Install" on the toolbar. Choose "Yes" or "Replace" when asked, and wait for it to finish.
    Disable the frameworks that were installed by Safari 6 (by renaming them). You will be prompted for your administrator password.$ cd /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks $ sudo mv SafariServices.framework SafariServices.framework.disabled
    Disable additional Safari 6 frameworks (optional, but recommended):$ cd /System/Library/StagedFrameworks/Safari $ sudo mv SafariServices.framework SafariServices.framework.disabled $ sudo mv WebInspector.framework WebInspector.framework.disabled
    Launch Safari.
    If it doesn't work, you can re-install Safari 6 from Software Update.

  • Is there a way to create a renaming preset where the sequence starts at the number "0" zero?

    What I am trying to achieve is the following:
    Fro example, I am photographing a handbag and I need to rename the file using a barcode and a barcode scanner.
    My sequence of images goes like this:
    Image 1: Tag shot
    Image 2: Front
    Image 3: Back
    Image 4: Inside bag
    Let's say the barcode once scanned produces a code such as TRE8801AZT16-Z
    Right now my current preset is "Custom Text_Image # (1)"
    This results with the images being renamed as:
    TagShot: TRE8801AST16-Z_1
    Front: TRE8801AST16-Z_2
    Back: TRE8801AST16-Z_3
    Inside bag: TRE8801AST16-Z_4
    What I need is the sequence to start at zero so the tag shot is _0 and my images are named like this:
    TagShot: TRE8801AST16-Z_0
    Front: TRE8801AST16-Z_1
    Back: TRE8801AST16-Z_2
    Inside bag: TRE8801AST16-Z_3
    Is this possible? If yes, how?
    Thanks for the help

    About as close as you can get is to right-click on a single clip and Make Multiclip Sequence. Hit OK to make an sequence out of the single clip. Open the sequence made and delete the multiclip and edit the clip you want back into the sequence.

  • Can't rename a folder in Windows 7 - receive error message

    When trying to rename a folder in Windows 7, I get a "Folder In Use" message saying that the folder or a file in it is open in another program.  This is untrue as I don't have any other programs open.  I even rebooted the computer and tried again
    and it gave me the same message.  This has occurred more than once and it's beginning to drive me crazy.  Do you have any suggestions as to how to fix this problem?

    Hi,
    Please use the
    Process Explorer to check which process keeps your file in use.
    In addition, you can try to rename the folder in
    Safe Mode to see the result.

  • Renaming the Physical Filename for Datafiles in SQL Server 2008

    Can anyone tell me how to change the physical filename of the datafiles? There doesn't seem to be any documentation on this, yet its quite easy to change the logical filename.

     There are several ways to make this change, however to rename the physical database files at operating system level you will have to take the database offline
    1. Use SSMS to take the database Offline (right-click on Database, select Tasks, Take Offline), change the name of the files at the OS level and then Bring it Online.
    2. You could Detach the database, rename the files and then Attach the database pointing to the renamed files to do so.
    3. You could Backup the database and then restore, changing the file location during the restore process.
    4. using T SQL
    ALTER DATABASE databaseName SET OFFLINE
    GO
    ALTER DATABASE databaseNAme MODIFY FILE (NAME =db, FILENAME = 'C:\Program
    Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.2\MSSQL\Data\db.mdf')
    GO
    --if changing log file name
    ALTER DATABASE  databaseNAme MODIFY FILE (NAME = db_log, FILENAME =
    'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.2\MSSQL\Data\db.ldf')
    GO
    ALTER DATABASE databaseName SET ONLINE

  • Adobe Bridge Batch Rename Stopped Working

    ive been using bridge exclusively to rename/
    organize my files and today for some odd reason it just will not work. i select the files i wish to rename and then select batch rename and name/numer the files as ive always done before and when i click rename nothing happens at all. i cleared out my cache to no avail and im now officially stumped. any help is appreciated. thanks!

    Your problem does seem odd.  Difficult to troubleshoot by remote, so run a few tests and see if you can narrow the problem down.
    By any chance are you trying a batch re-name of files on an external drive?  If so may be permissioning problem.
    Do you have this problem in all folders or just one?  If one there may be a contaminated file or name (i.e. flower.jpeg.jpeg)
    To avoid fouling up your files copy a dozen or so and put in "test"  folder then run these tests.
    Can you do a simple rename of one file?
    Can you do a batch rename of one file?
    If the above is true can you do batch rename for all files in this folder?
    If so does the extension make any difference - jpeg, psd, etc.?

  • Adobe Bridge CC: Batch Rename using any metadata field

    How can I add certain Metadata fields to the pull down menu in the batch rename function?
    I need to do a batch rename of files, but using metadata fields that are not available as an option on the pull down menu.
    Hoping to use any or all of these:
    Audio : Artist, Album, Genre
    IPTC Core : Description, Keywords, etc..

    I don't think there is any way in which you can add to the built-in functions…
    Unless this is actually provided by one of the Adobe start-up scripts… ( I've not see it when digging about )
    You would probably need a scripted solution that can give you drop down menu of the extra options you want.
