Update a Name Reference

If the namespace name or query subject and data item names in the package have changed, you must update reports that were created with the package to reflect the change.

The names of data items in a report are a concatenation of the namespace name, the query subject name, and the data item name. For example, if you add Order number from the GO Data Warehouse (query) sample package to a filter expression, you will see [Sales (query)].[Sales order].[Order number] in the expression. Similarly, package filter names are a concatenation of the namespace name and the filter name.
