Refresh Metadata Objects
The refresh function in AnalyticsCreator updates metadata definitions based on changes detected in the underlying data sources. Use this feature to align source structures (columns, data types, keys) with the current state of the external system without losing existing mappings or transformations.
| ID | Refresh Action | What It Does | Access Path |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Refresh Structure | Scans the external source system for structural changes (columns added/removed, data type changes) and updates the metadata accordingly. Existing transformations and field mappings are preserved where possible. | Navigation Tree → Sources → Right-click on Source → Refresh Structure |
Refreshing structure ensures your metadata stays in sync with live systems while preserving manual customizations, mappings, and logic defined within the repository.
