Transporter improvements: ability to edit transporter packages, display physical names of DB objects

Anastasia Pesyakova

Hi!

I have recently migrated the changes from sandbox to production on Board Version14.1 Revision 0.0.208107. I would like to suggest some improvements to the transporter functionality that should make the migration easier:

1. Add the ability to edit the transporter package, whether it's a data model package or a capsule package. Currently the edit button allows to adjust only Options: run/not run a DB backup and enable/disable a DB Maintenance Mode. We can't adjust the contents of the package - the selection of objects to transfer from source to target. In case the edits are needed, we have to recreate a transporter.
2. Add the physical names of DB objects when creating a package in addition to the admin-defined names. E.g. different cubes can have the same admin-defined names on source and target environments. It takes time to identify which objects should be kept or overwritten when their physical names are not displayed.

Thank you!

Anastasia
