To rename an ESQL file:

  1. Switch to the Broker Application Development perspective.
  2. In the Navigator view, right-click the ESQL file that you want to rename. Its default name is <message_flow_name>.esql. Click Rename or click File > Rename. If you have selected the ESQL file, you can press F2. The Rename Resource dialog is displayed.
  3. Enter the new name for the ESQL file. Click OK to complete the action, or Cancel to cancel the request. If you click OK, the ESQL file is renamed.

    When the rename is done, any references that you have to this ESQL file are no longer valid and you must correct them. If you are unsure where the references are, click File > Save All. This saves and validates all resources. Unresolved references are listed in the Tasks view, and you can click each error listed to locate and update the references.
