Swapping the Source Object of an Open ODS View

On the Semantics tab page in the Open ODS View maintenance screen, you can replace a source of the Open ODS views with another source. Provided that the Open ODS remains consistent after the source is swapped, objects that build on the Open ODS view - queries for example - can still be used.

1. In the upper part of the Semantics tab page, press (Details).
   The system displays information about the source object of the Open ODS view in a dialog box.
2. To use a different source object in the Open ODS view, change the source type in the dialog box and enter more details about the source, together with the name of the source object required.
3. Check your entries and choose (Change).
   In the left of the Semantics tab page, the system now displays the source object of the selected new source object. The assignment of source field to field of the Open ODS views is carried out automatically by determining that the names are identical.
4. If the system cannot automatically assign a source field to a field in the Open ODS view, you can carry out the assignment in the properties of the Open ODS view field:
   1. Select the Open ODS view field in the middle of the Semantics tab page in the structure of the Open ODS view.
   2. In the middle of the Semantics tab page in the properties of the Open ODS view field under Source Field, enter the name of the source field that you want the Open ODS view field to be assigned to.
5. Once you have made sure that all fields in the Open ODS view are assigned to suitable fields in the source object, you can save and activate the Open ODS view.
