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.
