When an object is renamed using an update form or in a load file, the UID and the unique key of each object is updated to reflect the new name that forms as a part of the UID or unique key.

When renaming documents, the UID is set on the master, so all revisions and all versions are renamed if inheritance is defined on the UIDs for document classes using the PARENTUID keyword. All these objects have the UID regenerated, including any relationships. In this situation, when you rename an object with the UID set, the name on the master, all revisions, and all versions are updated so that they are all consistent.

  • If any of the revisions have been revised into a sub-configuration when the document is renamed, the UID is not regenerated. The name changes on the object related to the update method only.

  • For other types of objects such as SCHEMA or ADMIN, the objects can be renamed, but the UIDs are not updated as this is not supported by the cache service.
