It has been necessary to change the name of an OLAP database that is the source for a number of Report Portal OLAP reports. Is it possible to change the connection definition of an exisitng OLAP report or must each report be redefined?

Cheers
Ryan

You can change the connection definition of a report by going to:
Admin > Edit Report Schema.

I have had the same problem when going from Dev to Live environment where we had to change:
- from Server name Dev_OLAP to Live_OLAP
- from database RELIAB_DEV to RELIAB_LIVE
- from cube RELIABCUBE_DEV to RELIABCUBE_LIVE
i had 70 reports to amend with the changes above, in the edit report schema box !!!

i tried running a mass T-SQL update in Report table in ReportPortal database, but some of the report schemas were stored as long text and this failed so i still had to go into Edit Report Schema and manually change every definition.

A piece of advice therefore, don't have any specific Dev or QA type of names for the server, database or cube names, as it will be a nightmare when moving to production.

Another glinch we cam accross was when removing a dimension from a cube or a measure, the report schemas had to be edited manually as well as those were mentioned in the report schema in hard mdx code.

So would you think that a "search and replace" (all reports of a given type) kind of functionality might be useful?
