Change a database ID and update affected objects

About this task

This feature is useful when you need to change the database ID that has previously been used and update all the objects that were created in that database to reflect the new database ID.

Note: If a database is a member of an existing DCM cluster, changing its database ID can adversely affect other databases in the cluster.

In databases in which many objects have been created, there could be many objects that require updating, so this operation could take some time. It is vital that the new database ID is unique in the DCM cluster. Verify that the database ID is unique and that you ensure you have a valid backup of the database before proceeding.

Changing a database ID can have an impact on the work area paths for projects in that database

All DCM administrators of a cluster must be informed when the ID of one of the databases in the cluster is to be changed. DCM does not automatically notify DCM administrators of the change.

The steps to perform a change of database ID and update objects are:
