Rename a Data source

Data source aliasing is necessary for renaming a data source.

Before you begin

  • After upgrading from Operations Hub 2.0, resave all the queries and their respective pages. This practice directs them to use the data source aliasing instead of the machine name. This also ensures that the queries and pages created in 2.0 are compatible with renaming data sources in the current version.
  • If importing an application that was exported from version 2.0, resave all the queries and pages after importing to the upgraded version of Operations Hub.

Procedure

  1. From the main navigation menu, select DATASOURCES.
    The DATASOURCES workspace appears, displaying a list of data sources.
  2. Select the data source that you want to rename.
    The data source appears.
  3. Enter the new name for the data source in the Name text box.
    The new name must be a unique name.
  4. Select Save.

Results

The data source is successfully renamed.

What to do next

In case you want to export an application after renaming a data source, save all the associated queries and pages before application export. The application and the queries have references to the renamed data source.
