To rename a mapping file:
In the EST Project Explorer, right-click the name of the mapping file that you want to rename.
Select Rename. The Rename Resource window opens.
In the Rename Resource window:
The name of the mapping file that you selected is displayed in the input field. (To rename some other mapping file, type a different name into the input field.)
Determining whether to update references:
If you rename a mapping file without choosing to update references, and any mapping reference in the service flow project includes the name of that mapping file, then that reference is no longer valid. The service flow project tools will try to resolve the reference but it will fail, because the mapping file specified in the reference no longer exists in the service flow project.
For example, suppose that the input terminal of an Invoke nonterminal node named GetRegion contains the reference to an input mapping shown in Table 1:
| A reference to an input mapping: | |
|---|---|
| Name of mapping file: | Flow10.sfmap |
| Name of mapping: | GetRegion_t_msg_CUSTOMERINFO |
Suppose now that you rename the mapping file Flow10.sfmap to Flow10_B.sfmap without choosing to update references. The reference shown in Table 1 is no longer valid, because the specified mapping file Flow10.sfmap no longer exists -- it has been renamed to Flow10_B.sfmap.
Click OK.
The mapping file is renamed.
