Administrator Command Reference Manual
Command Details : Detailed Descriptions of Commands : CNAME (Project definition)
CNAME (Project definition)
Function:
Changes the name of the Element.
Description:
This command is the only way in which the System Administrator can change a user’s password without deleting and recreating the user. Note that users can change their own passwords using the PASSWORD command in MONITOR. Passwords are alpha numeric character strings up to 15 characters long. The following characters should be avoided:-|’@$/*.
The CNAME DB command must be used with great care. If both quoted DBs already exist, and if the OVER option is used, ADMIN will copy the second DB into the first DB, and will then delete the second DB. If, in the same circumstances, the OVER option is not used, ADMIN will generate an error message.
In a Global Project, you can only change the Name of a Team or a Database at the Hub.
Examples:
CNAME USER JF RAB/ROB
Change username JF to username RAB, password ROB
CN DB TEAMNAME/GBPADD TEAMNAME/GBDRAFT
Change DB GBPADD to GBDRAFT if GBDRAFT does not exist.
CN DB TEAMNAME/GBPADD TEAMNAME/GBDRAFT OVER
Change DB GBPADD to GBDRAFT even if GBDRAFT exists.
In a Global project, if /GBDRAFT already exists, then it must not be allocated to locations other than the Hub, since the CNAME will delete this database.
CN MDB /DES1 /DESIGN
Change MDB name /DES1 to MDB name /DESIGN
CN TE GEORGEB GEORGEC
Change team name GEORGEB to GEORGEC.
