Renaming Entities and Data Elements

You can rename entities and data elements and update all references to the new name.

Note:

See "Renaming Conceptual Model Entities and Realized Application Entities" for information about renaming conceptual model entities that you have previously realized as application entities.

To rename entities and data elements:

Select an entity from a Design Studio view or a data element from an editor data tree or from a Design Studio view.

See "Design Studio Common Editor Tabs" for more information about editor data tree areas.
Right-click and select Refactoring, and then select Rename.

The Refactoring dialog box appears.
In the Name field, enter a new name for the data element.
Click Next.

Design Studio displays a list of all the changes to be performed.
Deselect any changes to be performed to exclude specific instances from the refactoring.

Note:

Deselecting elements that are referenced can cause model integrity violations.
Click Finish.
Design Studio updates the data element name for all selected references.
