Rename Technical names

Hello people,
I would rename technical names of infosources, datasources...
I see 2 ways :
- rename in a table the technical name of this infoobjects
- copy the infosource, with template the infosource to change.
In the first one, i don't know if this table exists.
In the second way, i create a new infosource with template the old one. i try to assign as datasource the old datasource (not connected to the old infosource, because <i>a datasource can be assigned to a only one infosource</i>). But i don't success. I don't see this datasource in order to assign it. And it seems i can't create a datasource manually with as template the old datasource.
Can you help me to resolve this problem??
Thank you  !!!
Vince.

You will have to create the transfer rules again - when you select a template - only the communication structure will get copied ..
Also even if you do fins out the table where it is stored and get to change the same - the background values are GUIDS or 32 character strings and that would still not change and you would have all sorts of problems transporting the same.
You would have to re create the transfer rules..

  • How to Rename the technical name and description of an infocube?

    Hi,
    How to Rename the technical name and description of an infocube?
    Thanx in advance,
    Ravi.

    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.

  • Rename the Technical Name of InfoSource

  • Is it possible to change InfoCube technical name/rename it?

    Is it possible to change InfoCube technical name/rename it?
    Thank you,
    AG

    I think no possibility to rename the technical name since it's such a 'key field'.
    if not in production yet and no data and the 'afterward' not too much (reporting related,multiprovider), you may consider to copy the cube to the name you want, then copy update rules (this can be easy done), and copy queries.
    Hope it helps.

  • Renaming the technical name

    HI,
    Is it possible to rename the technical name of the query?  If yes, how to rename it? 
    I am trying to rename it using save as and deleting the previous query.  Is there any option without using save as u can rename the technical name of the query?
    Regards
    Prasad

    Hi Prasad,
    I don't think change the technical name of the existing querry. But you can do save as the existing query with the desired technical nbame and then can delete the old query.
    Hope this helps.

    Hi there
    The reason the x is there is because RoboHelp can't find this topic. That's also why you can't edit or display it. From RoboHelp's perspective, it knows a topic was there, but it's since likely been deleted or renamed behind RoboHelp's back.
    If you changed the name, did you do it from inside RoboHelp or from Windows Explorer? Often things break when you don't do them from inside RoboHelp.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Two query with same technical name in Quality

    Hi experts,
    I have two queries in Quality with same technical name. I used the program RENAME_DUPLICATE_ELEMENTS to rename the query and its renaming the latest query instead of the old Query. I am in BI 7.0 system and cant find a note that applies to BI 7.0. There are quite a few notes on 3.x system. Has somebody faced the same problem. What did you do. If there is a note for bi 7.0, please let me know so i can resolve with the Basis team.

    We had similar issues - this happens when you create a query locally and then transport the same.
    The queries have an internal GUID which is generated locally and this causes duplicates.
    You can :
    1. Delete queries using the GUIDS ( you can find this in RZCOMPDIR or RSRREPDIR tables ) using RZDELETE to delete queries.
    identify your older version query and then delete the same and you should be good to go...
    also try identifying the same using program
    ANALYZE_RSZ_TABLES

  • 2 queries with same technical name

    Hi,
    I have just opened this <b>QA</b> system. I find that there are two queries with the same technical name. The query definition is also the same. But it shows twice when I search for them.
    I thought the system only allows a single technical name to be created once.
    Please help me understand how this may have happned? And also how I can delete one of them without effecting the web templates and workbooks where this query is used.
    Thanks
    NEWBW

    You can use the ABAP Program RENAME_DUPLICATE_ELEMENTS to rename the duplicate queries.
    The system tracks query objects using the 25 char UID and not the technical name of the query. In some cases you will end up with 2 queries with the same technical name usually with transports from multiple systems.
    You can also use the report ANALYZE_RSZ_TABLES to proactiveley analyze these kinds of issues in the system.
    Thanks

  • Field description in chart legend instead of technical name (BW query)?

    I am building a report from a BW query. The report has a grouping field and a bar chart in the group footer. When I execute the report the legend shows the technical name of the key figures even though I checked the "Show description" field in the "options".
    I can change the labels in "preview" mode (provided I can guess the real names), but just like in the field explorer I would prefer to always have the text instead of the nonsense technical name.
    Is this possible?

    hello all,
    you can use a 2 chart workaround for this.
    1) the first chart is the Group chart you already have...just disable the legend
    2) now create an Advanced chart using the description field as the On Change Of
    3) set the Order of chart to correspond with the technical field that the group is based on
    4) preview the chart and right click on the x axis area and format the axis so nothing is showing
    5) do the same for the y axis
    6) keep right clicking on all of the chart objects and changing them to transparent
    sounds annoying, is annoying, but it works.
    cheers,

  • Display technical name of a query in a web template ?

    Hi,
    I try to display in a basic web template the technical name of my query with a web item. In this order, I have tried to use the web item 'Text Elements' but how could I configure the latter in order to have only the technical name ?
    I have selected 'Display General Text Elements' in properties of the web item.
    In the property 'List of Text Elements', what is the couple of values that I have to configure ?
    Many thanks,
    CG.

    Hi,
    What you need to do is, keep a TEXT Web Item in the template.
    Then do not tick any of the options under Specific. Instead, go to List of Text Elements. In the first column, select General Text Symbol. In the next column type REPTNAME.
    This will give the technical name of the query in the output.
    Common text elements:
    u2212 technical name of the query (REPTNAME)
    u2212 description of the query (REPTXTLG)
    u2212 InfoProvider (INFOCUBE)
    u2212 key date for the query (SRDATE)
    u2212 accuracy of the data (date and time) (ROLLUPTIME)
    u2212 the person who wrote the query (AUTHOR)
    u2212 the last time the query was changed (date and time)
       (MODTIME)
    u2212 the last person to make changes to the query (MODUSER)
    u2212 current user (SYUSER)
    u2212 the last time the query was refreshed (date and time)
       (SYUZEIT)
    Try this. Hope it helps.

  • While saving Bex query with Technical name, it says Query already existing

    Hi,
    I am facing a problem. While saving a query withy its technical name (for example ZQYZMPR_01), it says that query is already existing. But when I search for the query in all tabs like Favourites, Roles, Infoprovider It is not found.
    I also checked a view V_REP_JOIN. In this view I find Query (ZQYZMPR_01) in MODIFIED version.
    I want to use my previous query instead of creating new one.
    Suggest, how can I retrieve my previous query that I am unable to search for.

    Saurabh
    Searching with descriptions may lead to confusion as there may be similar  descriptions to a query but just one technical name.  Check the query 'where used list' you may find answers.
    Can you check the query in RSZCOMPDIR ? If the query exist here, it must be there in the system.  Do the search with exact technical name ZQYZMPR_01 or ZQYZMPR*, you should be able to find.  Do not search in specific areas like roles etc..search directly by inputting the tech. name.
    Ferdinando - you can delete the query in RSZDELETE transaction.  While doing so, it will prompt for removal from all areas like roles, workbooks etc. Say 'yes' and delete, you will be able to assign the technical name to another query.

  • In the filter the value of text variable is not shown, only technical name.

    Hi All,
    We have some odd behavior of text variables in the filter screen of key-figures.
    After entering values in the variable screen, the report is executed.
    Within the report all text variables are filled, with the values entered in the variable screen.
    I say all, because we use both sap standard variables &0T_FPER& as customer specific &ZFSCYR&.
    When i want to change the key figures showned, i press the filter icon for key-figures (BW 3.5)
    In the list shown: existing filtervalues, the textvariables of SAP standard are filled with the value entered in the variable screen. However the customer specific is shown with the technical name (&ZFSCYR&) and not the value.
    Has anyone experience with this behavior or even better a solution to prevent this?
    As allways, each usefull answer points assigned!
    Regards,
    René

    Hi Rene,
    If ur custom text variable is not getting populated then you need to check out the code that u have written in there in CMOD for this and ofcourse if ur using this text variable after report execution then it will definately be in i_step 2.
    So best way is to debug your code and check that using code RSRT.
    Thanks
