Function:
Changes the name of the element.
Description:
This command is the only way in which the System administrator can change a User’s password without deleting and recreating the User.
Note:
Users can change their own passwords using the PASSWORD command in MONITOR. Passwords are alphanumeric character strings up to 15 characters
long. The following characters should be avoided:-|’@$/*.
The CNAME DB command must be used with great care. If both quoted Databases (DBs) already exist, and if the OVER option is used, AVEVA Administration will copy the second DB into the first DB, and will then delete the second DB. If, in the same circumstances, the OVER option is not used, AVEVA Administration will generate an error message.
In a Global Project, the administrator can only change the name of a Team or a Database at the Hub.
Examples:
|
CNAME USER JF RAB/ROB Changes username JF to username RAB, password ROB. CN DB TEAMNAME/GBPADD TEAMNAME/GBDRAFT Changes the GBPADD DB to GBDRAFT, if GBDRAFT does not exist. CN DB TEAMNAME/GBPADD TEAMNAME/GBDRAFT OVER Changes the GBPADD DB to GBDRAFT, even if GBDRAFT exists. In a Global Project, if /GBDRAFT already exists, then it must not be allocated to Locations other than the Hub, since the CNAME command will delete this DB. CN MDB /DES1 /DESIGN Changes the MDB name /DES1 to MDB name /DESIGN. CN TE GEORGEB GEORGEC Changes the Team name GEORGEB to GEORGEC. |
