Problem:

How do you rename a project from the command line in EnterpriseLink?

Resolution:

You can rename a project from the Administrators Site > Projects > Edit page. The web browser simply executes a CGI program distributed with EnterpriseLink to execute SQL statements to modify the ELRepository. It's possible (though unsupported) to invoke these SQL statements directly.

Copy the following command into a file with a .bat suffix on Windows. Note that the value for ELINSTALL should be replaced with your EnterpriseLink installation directory.

@echo off
rem
rem RenameProject old-project-name new-project-name
rem renames old-project-name to new-project-name
rem update ELINSTALL with the EnterpriseLink installation path
rem
set ELINSTALL=d:\\microfocus\\enterpriselink506
echo Project %1 renamed to %2, warning="@warning", error="@error" >message.txt
set PATH_TRANSLATED=message.txt
echo "a=1&server=ELRepository&separator=;&escape=@&query=UPDATE SR_APPL SET name='%2' WHERE name='%1'&z=1" | %ELINSTALL%\\scripts\\stuadmsql.exe
del /f /q message.txt
