Renaming a process or process directory

When a process is used in another process and when it is called by a rule or a schedule, the process is identified by its name. The TrueSight Orchestration Development Studio application enables you to change the name of a process or process directory and maintain referential integrity. When you rename a process or process directory, the product changes the name everywhere that it is used within the workspace.

When you start TrueSight Orchestration Development Studio, the application builds an index of every process. The index identifies everywhere the process is used in the workspace. When you rename a process, TrueSight Orchestration Development Studio uses the index to change the name every place in the workspace. You need not manually revise other processes, rules, or schedules that call the process. The renamed process can still be called from web services and from the TrueSight Orchestration Operator Control Panel application.

If you have created a custom label for the renamed process within a caller process, that custom label is maintained when the called process is renamed. However, if you have not created a custom label, when the called process is renamed, its label is also changed.

To rename a process

1. In the TrueSight Orchestration Development Studio Project Navigator, right-click a process and select Rename.
   If TrueSight Orchestration Development Studio has not completed the initial indexing, it displays a message indicating how close it is to completing the index. As soon as the index is complete, the product displays the New Process Name dialog box and you can continue to rename the process.
2. In the New Process Name dialog box, type the new name for the process and then click OK.
