Package Renaming

Introduction​

This feature allows administrators to convert cryptic package names into easily understandable, readable names. The new package name will be visible in the License Monitor and historical reports.

warning

Apply the configurations shown in the Open iT Core Server.

Configuring package-rename.map​

  1. Open package-rename.map in the Configuration directory, which is by default in C:\Program Files\OpeniT\Core\Configuration.

    Notice that it contains instructions on how to edit the file.

  2. Specify the package(s) to rename with the following syntax:

    Mapping Syntax
    MAP: <NewPackageName> 
    <OldPackageName>

    Empty lines are allowed — any line beginning with # as the first non-whitespace character is considered a comment. Globbing is also supported, allowing you to use several globbing patterns; however, remember that they are slower than exact matches. To make your mapping files more effective and efficient, refer to the Optimize Rules to Speed-up Rename or Mapping page.

    In the mapping file, entries are case-insensitive, meaning that capitalization variations, such as 'Package' and 'package', will be recognized as identical. Also, note that leading and trailing spaces are removed from entries.

    Example
    MAP: Package635
    Package325

    This example renames all of the Package325 packages to Package635.

    You can also include custom configurations in this mapping file, such as default mapping, setting date limits on specific mapping entries, or creating nested maps.

  3. Save the changes.

This mapping may affect the following data types:
