Managing source data files in dynamarts

After saving the dynamart, you can change or completely remove the link to the source data object.

About this task

When you save data files as dynamarts, the link to this data file and the time of its last modification are saved within the dynamart. When you open this dynamart, QMF reloads the data from the linked source file and updates the result set if the source file was modified or replaced.

You can change the source object or disable data update for a particular dynamart in the Dynamart Settings window.

To replace the source data file or disable data update:

Procedure

  1. Select Results > Dynamart Settings.
  2. In the Dynamart Settings window, specify the name and location of a data file that you want to use as source file in the Data file field. You can click Browse to search the file.
  3. Select the Update dynamart when file is changed check box if you want the result set to be updated on any changes in the linked data file.
  4. Clear the Update dynamart when file is changed check box to unlink the source data file. In this case the dynamart always displays original data even if the data file is replaced or updated.
  5. Click OK to close the Dynamart Settings window.
