Hello,
is there a way to rename my Information Map without breaking all the Web Reports that rely on it?
Many thanks for any suggestions.
The SAS Web Report Studio User's Guide contains a topic on "When a Data Source Has Been Moved or Renamed." http://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/citug/65926/HTML/default/viewer.htm#n0x57wa8rda525n12fi3...

Hi PhilipH,
I'm not sure which version of WRS you are using, but did you have a look at Sample 36290: Updating resources for a SAS® Web Report Studio report that does not open because its information map cannot be located, available from http://support.sas.com/kb/36/290.html ?
If you have renamed your InfoMap, another way to update the WRS report could be to (take a backup of your WRS report(s) before that):
- From the SAS Management Console (SMC), navigate to the report location using the Folders view/tab
- From the right-click menu, choose to write the content to an external file
- Open that file with a text editor and search for the InfoMap (old) name
- Change the reference and save the file
- From the SMC, right-click and select "Add Content From External File" (or similar)
You should then be able to open your report with the new InfoMap name.
Cheers, Damo
Hello @PhilipH,
the answer is yes and no.
If you rename a source, the report will be "broken" or outdated. Reason is simple: the wrs reports are just files, xmls, stored in the conten server. Therefore, static files.
But as @Madelyn_SAS well indicated, you will need to update the report with the proposed procedure. It takes only a few moments.
