<div><p>You can use the <span class="cmdname">Rename Object (RNMOBJ)</span> command
|
||
|
|
to rename objects. </p>
|
||
|
|
<div class="section"> <p>However, you can rename an object only if you have object management
|
||
|
|
authority for the object and update and execute authority for the library
|
||
|
|
containing the object.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>To rename an authorization list, you must have
|
||
|
|
authorization list management authority, and both update and read authority
|
||
|
|
for library QSYS.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The following objects <em>cannot</em> be renamed: </p>
|
||
|
|
<ul><li>Class-of-service descriptions (*COSD)</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Cluster resource group (*CRG)</li>

<li>Network Server Description (*NWSD)</li>

<li>SQL packages (*SQLPKG)</li>

|

|
<li>The system history log (QHST)</li>
|

<li>The system library, QSYS, and the temporary library, QTEMP</li>
|

<li>The system operator message queue (QSYSOPR)</li>
|

<li>Time zone description (*TIMZON)</li>
|

<li>User-defined SQL type (*SQLUDT)</li>
|

|
|
<li>User profiles (*USRPRF)</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
<p>Also, you cannot rename an output queue unless it is empty. You should
|
||
|
|
not rename IBM-supplied commands because the licensed programs also use IBM-supplied
|
||
|
|
commands.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>To rename an object, you must specify the current name of
|
||
|
|
the object, the name to which the object is to be renamed, and the object
|
||
|
|
type.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The following RNMOBJ command renames the object ORDERL to ORDFILL:
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<pre>RNMOBJ OBJ(QGPL/ORDERL) OBJTYPE(*FILE) NEWOBJ(ORDFILL)</pre>
|
||
|
|
<p>You cannot specify a qualified name for the new object name
|
||
|
|
because the object remains in the same library. If the object you want to
|
||
|
|
rename is in use when you issue the <span class="cmdname">Rename Object (RNMOBJ)</span> command,
|
||
|
|
the command runs, but does not rename the object. As a result, the system
|
||
|
|
sends you a message.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>When you rename objects, you should be careful
|
||
|
|
not to rename objects that other objects depend on. For example, CL programs
|
||
|
|
depend on the command definitions of the commands used in the program to be
|
||
|
|
named the same at run time as they were at compile time. Therefore, if the
|
||
|
|
command definition is renamed in between these two times, the program cannot
|
||
|
|
be run because the commands will not be found. Similarly, any application
|
||
|
|
program you write depends on certain objects being named the same at both
|
||
|
|
times.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>You cannot rename a library that contains a journal, journal
|
||
|
|
receiver, data dictionary, cluster resource group, or SQL package.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>An
|
||
|
|
object referring to another object may be dependent on the object and library
|
||
|
|
names (even though *LIBL can be specified for the library name). Therefore,
|
||
|
|
if you rename an object, you should change any references to it in other objects. </p>
|
||
|
|
<p>If
|
||
|
|
you rename a physical or logical file, the members in the file are not renamed.
|
||
|
|
However, you can use the Rename Member (RNMM) command to rename a physical
|
||
|
|
or logical file member. </p>
|
||

<div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> You should be careful when renaming objects
|
||
|
|
in the system library QSYS. These objects are necessary for the system to
|
||
|
|
perform effectively and the system must be able to find the objects. This
|
||
|
|
is also true for some of the objects in the general-purpose library QGPL.</div>
