Renaming an Aggregation Table

CAUTION:
You can change the name of the physical aggregation table only by using the Edit Aggregation wizard.
Changing the name of the table on the General tab of the Properties dialog box does not change the name of the physical table.
To rename a simple or a summarized aggregation table, perform the following steps:
  1. Locate the Aggregation transformation that generates the aggregation table that you want to modify. To do so, from the IT Data Marts tree, navigate to the IT data mart that contains the job where the Aggregation transformation is located. Double-click the job to open it on the Diagram tab of the Job Editor window.
  2. Right-click the aggregation table that you want to rename.
  3. From the drop-down list, select Edit <aggregation-type> Aggregation Table, where aggregation-type is Summarized or Simple. This action opens the Summarized Aggregation Table wizard or the Simple Aggregation Table wizard.
  4. To change the name of the table in the metadata, enter the new name of the aggregation table in the Name field on the first page of the wizard.
    To change the name of the physical table, enter the new name of the aggregation table in the SAS Table Name field.
  5. Click Next to proceed through all the pages of the wizard. Then click Finish.
  6. Click OK to save your changes and return to the process flow diagram.
Note: This task changes the name of the table in the metadata. The name of the physical SAS data set is changed when you click Finish. In order for your changes to take effect, you must redeploy the aggregation job. In addition, even though the metadata linkage to that renamed table still exists, it is advisable to redeploy the information map job that uses the renamed table as input.
