Renaming mappings

From Eclipse menu, the Refactor > Rename option does not apply to mappings. You can run Rename only through the Mapper context menu in the Mapping Explorer view. The new mapping name must be a valid Java class name.

  1. In the Mapping Explorer view, right-click a mapping. Select Rename.

    Your selected mapping must not be open in the Mapper Editor.

  2. Click OK to close the Mapping Editor for this mapping and proceed.
  3. Specify a new name for this mapping. The new mapping name must be a valid Java class name.
  4. Click OK.

    In the Mapping Explorer view, a new name is assigned to your selected mapping.

    Note: If the mapping is stored in the Mapper Database, the name of the mapping in the Mapper Database is not changed. To change the name of the mapping in the Mapper Database, you must first remove the mapping with the old name from the server, then save the mapping with the new name to the server.

    When you rename a standard mapping, the mapping is automatically converted to a custom mapping.
