Rename classes

Unless a class is system-generated and system-required, you can change its name by using its property sheet. The new class name must be unique within the object store and must be no longer than 64 characters long.

CAUTION When you rename a class, you change the value of the Display Name property which causes the value of the Name property to also be updated. However, changing the value of the Display Name property does not automatically change the value of the Symbolic Name property. For more information, see About name properties.

To rename a class

  1. From the Enterprise Manager tree, right-click the class name that you want to change and select Properties.
  2. On the General tab of the property sheet, provided that the class name field is editable, type in the new name.
  3. Click Apply and OK.
