Hi,
I tried using the 'ccm move' command to rename a project as per instruction manual and it appeared to work except now the history is split in two. This means I can't set the reconfigure properties of the new project as it appears to not see anything from the one with the old name and in the history view it's one or the other (i guess the internal queries are searching for a specific name, which has now changed). Basically I want to rename a project, is there anything elso I need to know that's not obvious from the manual. Any help would be apprecited Cheers Jim |

Hello,
I use ccm 6.3 sp2 and I have not this behaviour. The %name field is well changed in the same box in the history. Have you done this for a leaf non-static project ? Caution : I had a bug renamming projects. When reconfiguring the renammed project, the root directory was unbinded and replaced with a wrong entry, so the project becammed empty. There is a way to fix it in ccm_admin role but it's not a light procedure. |

What is not obvious is that "rename" does not literally rename an object, but instead creates a new object (different 4-part-name). The object version you renamed is changed, but it is now a version of a completely new and different object. For tracability, it create relation link between the new object version and the previous object version, but AFAIK this only affects the history view.
In the case of renaming a project, this means that your new project will not be able to find any baseline project for reconfigure. Because of this, if you rename a project a new baselilne for the (newly renamed) project should be created. Todd |

Hi Todd,
I totally agree with your explanation, when renamming a project, a baseline must be rebuild (or tasks must be part of reconfigure properties) because it's a new object. But in my situation, I got a real bug ; my projects contains a dot '.' and renamming one of them put a backslash '\' before the dot '.' in the name of the root directory. A FOO.EXAMPLE project I want to renamme as RENAMMED.EXEMPLE works but the root directory binded to the project and which has always the same %name attribute is renamed too but wrongly and become RENAMMED\.EXEMPLE It's a good deal to avoid the '.' character in project name. |
