How do I rename an agent?

I have problem renaming agents now with the eclipse environment. I see properties and the “name” is not editable. Alt+Enter, that works on forms and pages, gives me the “old” form of properties. There I can change name like the old way.

But for agents… I cannot follow the steps from the help:

  1. open db in designer

  2. in app navigator - click on the design element

3 select the name of the element in the work pane

4 double click the specific name to display property box

5 edit name of design element

6 save and close

I can add/edit alias, comments and other settings. But not the NAME.

So, how do I really change the name for an agent?

Subject: Use to rename …

highlight the agent and press . A “Rename” dialog pops up …

Or do an “in View Edit” by slowly double-clicking the name in the agent list …

Had also been discussed here Nevermind.dk

only formula or simple action editors can change the name while open for editing. Basically, Eclipse based editors can’t handle name changes on an open resource, so that behavior can’t be supported while editing. You can, however, right click rename from the design list or the navigator (or F2 as otherwise said!)

Subject: No right click rename on design list!

Hi Maureen,I can see the right-click ‘rename’ option when I right click the agent in the navigator (thanks for this tip, which I will probably end up using a lot).

However, and I may misunderstand, I can’t see a ‘rename’ option when I right-click an agent in my list of agents, though F2 does bring up the rename dialog there?

Thanks
