MDB Rename Error

$
0
0

Still old hat here and using the MDB. I am about to rename 800+ Alias' and my worksheet column headings are: Selected (x), Name & NewName - but when Exporting them, with Mode: = Edit, it returns this error:

 

"Alias Error setting Alias DataSource for alias xxxxx in module yyyyy. DataSource access failed. PIAlias"

 

I am logged in as an administrator with authority to change tags.

 

The odd thing is that the Alias Name is being changed but the error message is concerning me. Any ideas?

PS related help item: "To rename an existing PI-Module database item, the NewName field should be used and an export made in edit mode. This field can be used against a Module, Alias, or Property. When renaming, only the NewName field is required, in addition to the Name and Selected fields."
