Alias Manager

The System Alias Manager enables you to review the back-end systems from which you have chosen the data services in the model and:

Change the source system as necessary
Rename a portal system alias if it has been renamed in the portal
Rename a system alias if a model has been ported between servers that have different aliases for the same back-end system

Choose Tools Alias Manager to access the dialog box. A table is displayed listing all system aliases used in the model, along with their details. To change a system alias, you check its row and click Rename.

For more information about using the Alias Manager, see How to . . . Manage Your Portal System Aliases in the SAP NetWeaver Visual Composer Modeler's Guide.
