You can refresh the columns in a data source in the designer at any time. Be aware
that refreshing a data source means that all
live report objects that are connected to that data source will have their queries
rerun.
Note: Refreshing a data source
adds any new columns that have been added to the table metadata in
the SAS LASR Analytic Server. The default formats and names of existing
columns will be updated the next time you open the report.
Note: Data is refreshed from the
table that is currently loaded into the SAS LASR Analytic Server.
To refresh a data source for a report, on the
Data tab, select the
data source, and then click
.
To refresh the list of data sources when you are using the
Add Data Source window,
click
beside the
search field. This updates the list of all possible data sources. Individual data sources are
not refreshed.
When you refresh a data source for a report, columns that have been deleted from the
table metadata in the SAS LASR Analytic Server are automatically removed if they do not impact any
objects in the report. If deleted columns do impact objects in the report, then the
Repair Report window
is displayed so that you can repair the objects that are impacted
by the deleted columns.
