You can change the name of any type of node (a built-in node, user-defined node, or subflow node) to reflect its purpose. When you first add a node to the canvas, the editor automatically assigns a name to the node, but the name is highlighted and you can change it by entering a name of your choice. If you do not change the default name at this time, you can change it later, as described in this topic. For example, you might include a Compute node to calculate the price of a specific part within an order, and you could change the name of the node to be Calculate_Price.
When you rename a node, use only the supported characters for this entity. The editor prevents you from entering unsupported characters.
To rename a node:
If you generate ESQL code for a Compute, Database, or Filter node, the code is contained within a module that is associated with the node. The name of the module within the ESQL file must match the name specified for the module in the ESQL Module property of the corresponding node. Although you can modify the module name, and change it from its default value (which is the name of the message flow, concatenated with the name of the node with which the module is associated), ensure that the module in the ESQL file matches the node property.
