Hi all
We are currently generating a filter from a database. The workflow is a bit of a hassle though.
Let us say we already have the filter F1 generated from the database B, we want to update the Filter F1.
Our current workflow is :
- Make changes to the database B
- Create a new filter automatically from B : this gives us a new filter F2 with a new GUID different from F1 GUID. I cannot see an option to replace the existing filter F1
- In all models databases which are using F1 as default method filter, and for all user groups who are assigned the F1 filter : change the filter from F1 to F2
- Rename F1 as F1.YYMMDD ,
- rename F2 as F1
Step 3 is really time consuming, is there a better way to do it ?
Ideally I'd like to :
- Make changes to the database B
- Generate a filter F2 from B replacing the existing Filter F1
- Done
Thanks
Hello Michel,
suggestion:
- Make changes to database B
- Duplicate the filter. The duplicate gets a new GUID and serves as your backup. Rename it as you like.
- Edit the original filter and in step 2 select again: Create automatically. On Step 3 select the database and "Overwrite filter contents". There you are with the new filter definition for everybody - as soon as they re-login. Done.
