When rename a column...

Hi,
When I rename a column in presentation layer, I will have to go through each of the reports that use the column, drop the old column and pull the new one into the request and reformatting,... etc. There has to be an easier way to do this.
Appreciate any ideas, suggestions.

Thank you all for your kind reply.
I experimented with your comments a bit, and this is what I found:
- Renaming columns or presentation tables did not seem to affect any of my reports even if I have formulas "case when ..." in my report. It automatically creates an alias.
- Renaming a presentation catalog/subject area ( folder in presentation layer) did not affect reports either. But if you want to modify the report, say, add a new column, then you will have problem. When you edit the report, on the left side where it used to show the presentation folder, now shows this message "Either you do not have permission to use the subject area MYOLDSUBJECT within Answers, or the subject area does not exist.". I double checked my subject area folder, it does have an alias which is the old name.

    how to resolve unresolved column error when we change column name in BMM Layer and removed alias in presentation layer

    Looks like the presentation column got Alias before your BMM changes, so in your case renaming logical column and deleting alias is not good to go.

  • Odi REVERSE ENGINEERING AFTER RENAMING  A COLUMN.

    hi,
    i have altered the table definition .
    i have just renamed the columns name .
    now when i reverse engineer , the model contains new as well old columns.
    is there any way by which i can rename existing columns to the new one.

    No. You cannot.
    ODI doesnt know what your intentions were with the column renames.
    It doesnt remove the columns during reverse engineering that dont exist in the database because the columns in ODI maybe used in the mappings.
    The only way you can do is by doing it manually in ODI by renaming them

  • Finder crashes when renaming or deleting a file

    Hello,
    on my MacMini I have Snow Leopard (10.6.2) installed and have a lot of troubles with finder.
    Every time i tried to rename a file it crashed. So i did some research and found out that StuffIt used to be a problem but i didn't have it installed. So i search further more and found out that deleting finder preferences may be a solution. I did that an restarted and than renaming files was possible.
    As it deleted my preferences I then switched back to the multiple column view and tried deleting a file. Crash. Switched back to the icon view... it worked...
    So i guess the multiple column view has a bug in it...
    The reason I switched to a Mac was NOT to have problems like that....
    Here is a Crash-log for the finder when renaming a file:

    Maybe it helps you fixing this problem.
    Thanks, Georg

    I can assure you that multiple column view works fine, even when deleting a file. The problem I'm afraid is with you. Have you tried repairing permissions?

  • How to rename a column

    i cannot rename a column in a table;
    i tried so many sql statements but with no results;

    I tried to drop a column age from table student by writing the

    ORA-00905: 缺少关键字 (Lack of Key word)

    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.

  • Windows 7 hangs when creating a new folder and hangs again when renaming it.

    Ok, so I have a problem where Windows 7 hangs when creating a new folder and hangs again when renaming it.
    I have documented this problem on my blog here:
    Windows 7 hangs when creating a new folder and hangs again when renaming it Rhyous's 127.0.0.1 or ::1
    This has my hardware details, etc...
    I consider myself an expert at troubleshooting (being in support for over 10 years including time as a Lead Technician doing Windows 2000 support focussing on performance), and have checked quite a few things to try to pinpoint this issue, but I just can't find the cause.
    I am asking others if they have seen this issue. I need to know if it is only on my workstation, or if others are seeing it as well.
    Have you ever right-clicked, chose new folder and then had to wait 45 seconds for a new folder to appear.
    Then the same thing when you try to rename the new folder, a hang of about 45 seconds before the new name take affect.
    Anyway, let me know if you have experienced ths.

    Hi,
    I suggest you temporarily uninstall the antivirus program to check the issue. You need to make sure that you have the installation file to reinstall it later.
    If it does not work, I suggest you also test the issue in Safe Mode and Clean Boot to determine if this is a hardware or a software issue.
    Good luck!

  • 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 display the current name when renaming Finder item

    Is there any way to get Automator to display the current name of a Finder item when renaming an item?
    I want my users to be able to copy and rename a folder template but I want to display the folder template's current name as a default in the renaming dialogue window, so the user follows the correct naming format.

    Since you've already hacked into it, if you've got developer tools installed, it is most likely in the nib file that is in the English project folder in the Resources.
    I don't know what further implications that will have on the app in general, though.
    If you are a little adept at applescript, you may want to create your own Applescript Studio app to do this instead of Automator. Also, take a look at Platypus to make a wrapper around you applescript instead of AS Studio.

  • Maintain RAW filename when renaming in Lightroom

    When renaming files in Lightroom 1.2 when you are exporting files how do you keep the original RAW filename in Metadata? I cut DVDs of my files after they are downloaded and want to be able to tell what the original filename was before it was renamed in the event I'd have to go back to the Raw file.
    I want to use name and a sequence number for the new filename [EX: rb-101, rb-102, etc. where rb is the clients initials followed by a sequence starting at 101]
    The reason I want to rename in Lightroom is to keep the files in the order I manually place them since my cameras don't always sync capture time exactly. If I just export them without renaming, then I have to start over in Bridge to sort them again before renumbering in CS2.

    Rob,<br /><br />Clicking F2 in Lightroom invokes the Filename Template Editor.<br /><br />One of the options is "Original Filename". That can be invoked at anytime so that should sort your query out.<br /><br />However, personally, I always like to have the original 4 number sequence tagged to every photo no matter what format the photo is.<br /><br />So, original camera filename of 73XX1234 becomes: "CLIENTNAME assignment 1234" <br /><br />Every version of the photograph will have this same name so can be searched inside or outside of Lightroom by a dozen different variables without even needing the Metadata.<br /><br />To set this up go to the Import dialogue and in the File naming Template area, click on Edit.<br /><br />My default setting is:  <Custom Text> <Filename suffix><br /><br />Click OK and then enter the text you want at the front of the filename.<br /><br />You can change the name at any stage by selecting pictures in the Library, clicking F2 (or Menu>Library>Rename) to invoke the Filename Template Editor and proceed as above. <br /><br />Cheers,<br />Adrian

  • User Interface bug when renaming tracks in list views

    When renaming tracks in the list views, there is a user interface bug that makes it impossible to see what you're doing.  When you select a track in the list view, this is what it looks like:
    Note how the text is white on the darker blue background.  When you click again, to open the inline text editor to rename, this is what you get:
    The background color of the text editor is white, just like the text, so when you type, you can't see what you're typing, nor can you see where in the original text your text insertion cursor is located.
    Thanks!
    Steve.

    I'm frustrated with this same problem. In my case this happens only in my 10.5 macbook air and not in my 10.4 macbook pro. I've been renaming files in the same way in 10.2/10.3 and this never happened. Should be a bug. I've been searching for this issue and found this post at last - I really wonder why there aren't so many people mentioning this.

  • Bad performance when deleting report column in webi(with "Design – Structure only")

    Hi all,
    One of our customer has recently upgraded from BO XI to BO4.1. In the new BO 4.1, they encountered a bad performance issue when they were deleting a column in Webi(using "Design – Structure only" mode).
    With “Design – Structure only" mode,  it took webi about 10 seconds to complete after the customer right-clicked a report column and clicked the "delete".  The customer said that they only need to wait for less than 1 second when they did the same in BO XI old version.
    The new BO version used is 4.1SP02, installed in Windows Server 2008 R2. (Server with 32 core CPU, 32G memory)
    This bad performance happened in both Webi web and Rich Client. (in Webi Rich Client, the performance is a little bit better. The 'delete column' action takes about 8 seconds to complete).
    Do anyone know how to tune this performance in webi?  Thank you.
    Besides, it seems that each time we are making change in the webi report structure in IE or Rich Client, webi need to interact with Server site to upload the changes. Is there any option to change this behavior?  Say, do not upload change to Server for when 'deleting report column', only trigger the upload after a set of actions(e.g. trigger when click the "Save" button).
    Thank you.
    Regards,
    Eton.

    Hi all,
    Could anyone help me on this?  Thanks!
    What customer concerns now is that when they did the same 'column editing' action in BO XI R2 for the same report, they did not need to wait.  And they need to wait for at least 7-8 second in the BO 4.1SP02 environment for this action to complete.(data already purged, in structure-only mode)
    One more information about the webi report being editing is: there are many sheets in the report(about 6~10 sheets in one report). Customer don't want to separate these sheet into different reports  as it will increase the effort of their end users to locate similar report sheets.
    Regards,
    Eton.
