Rename properties in a class

You can change the name of a class property by renaming the property template that defines it. The new property name must be unique within the object store and must be less than 64 characters long.

When you rename a class property, 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, which must be unique within a class family. For more information, see Name properties.

The name change propagates to the appropriate property of any subclasses of this class.

To rename a property

  1. From the Enterprise Manager tree, right-click the property template.
  2. Select Rename and type the new name.
  3. Right-click the object store and select Refresh. The new name is passed to the properties based on the property template you just changed.
