Based on experience, if there are some changes of schema structure within the database, or there are some differences of schema structure in the new database, you may need to adjust the M query in Editor Query -> Advance Editor of all related queries/tables. Then the refresh should work again.
So if you still have trouble with this issue, just post the error message you got, and what changes you have made to the schema structure, and the related M query in Advance Editor, we'll try to adjust the M query for you. :smileyhappy:
