OpenPages Steps to Utilize ObjectManager to Rename Objects

Answer

The following solution assumes that the OpenPages administrator knows the following:

• The system-level folder name of the object other the following message will be displayed: VALIDATION ERROR (Line: 968 Column: 55): Resource to rename (/_op_sox/Project/Default/BusinessEntity/ENTITY_oldname/ENTITY_oldname.txt) does not exist.

1. Log onto the application server.
2. Open a text editor.
3. Copy the syntax example above.
4. Update the example to reflect the target folder location(s) and source folder location(s). For example:

<openpagesConfiguration xmlFormatVersion="1.31">     <renameResources>         <renameResource oldFullName="/_op_sox/Project/Default/BusinessEntity/ENTITY01/ENTITY01.txt"                         newShortName="ENTITY01A.txt"/>     </renameResources> </openpagesConfiguration>

5. Save the file using the an ObjectManager name (i.e.: samplerename-op-config.xml).
6. Open a command prompt or shell.
7. Go to: <OPENPAGES_HOME> | bin where the default <OPENPAGES_HOME> is:

Operating System	Default <OPENPAGES_HOME>
Windows	C:\OpenPages
AIX / Linux	/opt/OpenPages

8. Run the command to load the ObjectManager file. The following is the sample output for the working example:

D:\OpenPages\bin>ObjectManager l c OpenPagesAdministrator OpenPagesAdministrator D:\temp samplerename OpenPages V8.2.0.0 (Build: OP_6.2-56 2012/11/05 19:17:21) starting ...
