You can rename a record type or a record type family in
a schema.
Before you begin
Before you rename a record type or a record type family consider
the impact to existing schemas, states, actions, hooks, and queries.
For more information, see
Naming restrictions.
About this task
Changing the
name of a record type or record type family in the Designer does not
change the original database table name, only the name visible to
users. Also, note that you cannot rename these stateless system record
types: ratl_replicas, history, attachments, groups, and users.
Procedure
To rename a record type or a record type family:
- Start the Designer.
- In the ClearQuest Schema Repository Explorer view, expand
the Record Type, Record Type - Stateless,
or Record Type Families folder in your schema.
- Right-click the record type or record type family and
click Rename.
- Type a new name (within a schema, each record
type and record type family name must be unique) and then press Enter.
Results
After renaming a record type, you might need to update the
values specified in any existing hooks or queries if they refer to
an older name.
