How can a Harvest Administrator change a project name?

Environment

Release : 14.0 and up

Resolution

Changing the project name can be a simple thing.  In the Administrator Tool, right-click on the project name and go to Properties. However, you need to watch for any downstream effects.  

  • If you are using hrefresh, you will need to update the hrefresh.cfg file.  
  • If you have the project name hard-coded into any UDP scripts/Jenkins pipeline, those will need to be updated as well.
  • Users should be completely checked in before making the change - no "R" tag files at all.  After the change, they will do a fresh checkout using the new project name.
  • The users might need to refresh the broker connection to ensure they are seeing the new project name.  Deleting the C:\Users\<userid>\.cascm folder and restarting Workbench is not a bad idea.
  • Workbench, Eclipse, and Visual Studio workspaces for the project will have to be rebuilt.
