Rename the default view

When sites transition to multiple BOM views, the View BOM view name may be too generic to retain. Before proceeding with a site-wide implementation of multiple BOM views, consider if you want to continue using this generic BOM view type or if you should rename it to something more meaningful. When you rename a BOM view type, the change is immediate. However, if you use the default BOM view revision (BVR) names provided with Teamcenter, these names are no longer appropriate. When it creates each BVR, Teamcenter assigns it a name according to the BOM view type and item revision ID. If you subsequently change the name of the BOM view type, the names of existing BOM view revisions that use this name are not automatically updated. You can rename affected BVRs by running the ps_rename_bvrs utility against them. The ps_rename_bvrs utility renames existing BOM views and BOM view revisions (BVRs) to the current default naming scheme implemented by the USER_ps_default_bom_view_name and USER_ps_default_bvr_name user exits. You do not need to synchronize BVR names immediately after renaming the BOM view type, but can perform this activity in batches for multiple item identifiers.
