Renaming Objects

What can be renamed

You can use the Browser to rename projects, configurations, packages, documents, diagrams (and diagram components), and external files within the Browser. You cannot rename phases, groups, customization files, and so on.

You can rename a repository, using the Corporate Management tool. For details on how to rename repositories, see The UML Suite System Administrator's Guide.

How to rename an object

ÿ To rename an object:

1. Move to the appropriate level. For example, to rename a package, move to the phase level.
2. In the information area, select the object that you want to rename.
3. Select File | Change | Name.
4. Type the new name in the Change Name dialog box, and then click OK.

   The UML suite renames the object or displays an error message if an object of that name already exists.

Renaming configurations

When you create a version, the UML suite assigns it a version identifier. The configuration name is used as part of that version identifier. Renaming a configuration does not change the version identifiers of existing objects.

For more information

See Chapter 2, Version and Configuration Management, in The UML Suite Project Management Guide.

Renaming qualified diagrams

The classifier of a qualified diagram cannot be renamed.

Renaming CDMs

A CDM cannot be renamed if any CD in which the corresponding class occurs is open for editing or frozen.
