When updating a URL on SAP Connector Data sources, update Data Readers too

When updating the URL of an SAP Connector in the data sources, the actual URL in the Data Reader associated to this URL aren't update accordingly unless you go manually edit every single one.

My idea is to add a pop up that ask when you save your change in the following screen if you want to update the URL automatically with this new base URL*

Use cases:

This would make refreshing a Sandbox from Production more conviennent
The location of the Theobald installation, proxy or port has been changed
On a Sandbox after validating that the new queries on your test Theoblad where correct, you could be preparing the go live more reliably and ensure that all URL are correct for production.

* the rest of query URL should stay in unchanged as it contains the query name used in Theobald

Hi Nicolas,

what version of Board are you using? Because over a year ago we fixed a bug for this with B14.1 and it shouldn't happen anymore with later versions, or even with latest B12.6. Which means, if you change the URL of a SAP source in Board (or you port your data model from one Board environment to another where the SAP source has the same but different URL), the data readers should run on the updated URL.

I was in B12.6 until a few days ago and I confirmed that don't get the issue in B14.4 anymore when changing it on my server.

However, what confused me in thinking it wasn't done in B14 is what I saw in doing transporter after modifying the connection in Data sources: If you do a transporter (in my example within itself) after having edit a DR manually, it still show you the previous url or port, even if it's not used anymore.
