Resetting and Reinitializing Data Providers 

Use

You use this command to reinitialize existing data providers of the query or query view type. The data provider is recreated according to the parameters. The corresponding Web items display the data for the new data providers.

If you are using a Web item that requires, for example, a specific characteristic (such as filter dropdown box ), you need to make sure that the new data provider also supports this characteristic.
