Object Naming in Upper case

building semantic layer
#1

Hi
I am dragging my table into the universe window, which will create my class and objects based on that table.

I want all my object names in upper case. I am just thinking instead of manually we typing all object names in upper case, if there is any feature with the designer, which we can achieve that

Somtimes it takes time if we have lot of objects

Let me know

No, there’s no feature in Designer that would accomplish this.

Michael, wouldn’t you be able to manage this with a strategy alteration? That’s where the Initcap and the transfer of _ to " " takes place… seems you could try removing the Initcap function or even replace it with an uppercase function.

Dave, I’ve never tried that. I assume that would be an external task, not something that would be done within the Designer application, right?

Here is an Excel macro for mass updating universe names. Download the default names, change them to upper case in Excel, then upload them.
