Dear @rajendra.prajapat ,

 

Good try, but you didn't expect autodesk and their wealth of ideas.


As soon as you upload a project to BIM Collab, the SQLite DB is converted into an SQL DB.
This process is reversed when a project is backed up.


In your case you have to secure the project locally
edit the DCF files
delete the project in BIM Collab
Upload your modified project again

 

Have lots of fun with it

Any chance to be able to query directly the SQL DB on BIM collab project?
Would be more convenient.
But for sure would be made with care. 
In my case to re-assign lost viewports to them 3D source file I need to update the Value attribute of the 2dMoniker table from Ortho.dcf db and re-assign the correct Guid.
But from my local sync of the ortho.dcf I can only expect to have my local db correct unless I am backuping all the project and delete from BIM Collab, make my modifications in db and reload as you said.
