3.5 Renaming Service Model Elements

Use caution when renaming service model elements. In particular, if there are any explicit element name matching rules defined for SCM, SLA, element children, behavior models, and so on, and a matched element is renamed, you must manually update the matching rules. Otherwise, the renamed element is not selected when the matching rules are executed.

For example, assume a behavior model and custom property pages use a rule that matches a service model element named ABC. If you then rename ABC to 123, modify the behavior model and apply the original match rule, element 123 is not updated. You must modify the match rule to find element 123.

To rename a service model element:

  1. Right-click a service model element, then select Rename.

  2. In the Rename dialog box, specify the new name, then click Finish.
