Rename Wizard utility

You can use the Rename Wizard to rename tables and columns in the Presentation layer and Business Model and Mapping layer. It provides a convenient way to transform physical names to user-friendly names. This is very useful utility.

To use the Rename Wizard:


  1. In the Administration Tool, select Tools, then select Utilities. Then, select Rename Wizard and click Execute.
  2. In the Select Objects screen, select the objects you want to rename. First, select the layer that contains the objects (Presentation or Business Model and Mapping), then select an object and click Add. Click Add Hierarchy to add all objects associated with the selected object.

    Click Next after you have selected the objects you want to rename
  3. In the Select Types screen, select the object types you want to rename, such as Subject Area, Logical Table, or Logical Column. Then, click Next.
  4. In the Select Rules screen, select the renaming rules you want to apply and click Add. Select Change specified text to rename particular words or phrases. Click Next after you have selected renaming rules.
  5. When the repository is open in online mode, the Checkout screen appears. In online mode, objects need to be checked out before you can make changes to them. Click Next to check out the necessary objects.
  6. The Finish screen displays a summary of the objects that will be renamed. If you want to make changes to the list of renamed objects, click Back, or select a particular step from the navigation panel. Click Finish to rename the objects.
