Rename an Optim Directory

At times, you may rename an Optim™ Directory. For example, upgrading from version 5.x to version 6.x requires that you create a new Directory and convert Optim objects created before the upgrade. Once the new Directory is created and the old Directory is deleted, you can rename the new Directory to use it in place of the old Directory.

To learn how to convert Optim objects created before the upgrade to version 6.x, refer to Converting PST and Optim Directory Objects. To delete a Directory, see Drop DB Alias or Optim Tables.

To rename the new Directory, you must replace the name in the Directory itself and in the Windows registry on each workstation that accesses the Directory. Select Rename an Optim Directory from the Tasks menu to change the name in the Optim Directory and workstation registry or, once the Optim Directory is changed, to rename a registry entry or register the renamed Directory on a workstation.
