change_type_name

Renames a custom business object type in the database. When two business object types have the same name, a collision occurs in the database. Use this utility to change the name of one of the types so that there is no longer a collision. Warning Before renaming business objects, read Rename a business object in BMIDE for Data Model Design. You can damage your database if you do not perform all the manual steps mentioned in the documentation. Syntax change_type_name [-u=user-id {-p=password | -pf=password-file} -g=group] [-old_type=current-name-of-business-object -new_type=new-name-of-business-object] -config=configuration-file -dry -h Arguments -u Specifies the user ID. This is a user with Teamcenter administration privileges. If this argument is used without a value, the operating system user name is used. Note If Security Services single sign-on (SSO) is enabled for your server, the -u and -p arguments are authenticated externally through SSO rather than being authenticated against the Teamcenter database. If you do not supply these arguments, the utility attempts to join an existing SSO session. If no session is found, you are prompted to enter a user ID and password. -p Specifies the password. If used without a value, the system assumes a null value. This argument is mutually exclusive with the -pf argument. If neither this argument nor the pf argument is used, the system assumes the user-ID value to be the password. -pf Specifies the full path and filename of the password file. For information about managing password files, see Manage password files. This argument is mutually exclusive with the -p argument. If neither this argument nor the pf argument is used, the system assumes the user-ID value to be the password. -g Specifies the group associated with the user. If used without a value, the user's default group is assumed. -old_type Identifies the business object to be renamed. -new_type Specifies the new name to replace the existing business object name. -config Optional. Identifies a configuration XML file that contains processing instructions. If this argument is not used, the default TC_DATA\change_type_name_config.xml configuration file is used. -dry Optional. Logs information about modifications. No actual modifications are done with this switch. -h Displays help for this utility. Example To run the utility in dry run mode, enter the following command on a single line: Copy change_type_name -u=username -p=password -g=dba -old_type=oldItem -new_type=newItem -dry This runs the utility in dry run mode to estimate how much data would be altered if the old business object is renamed.
