Hi Karl,
is it possible to update the classnames in the database for existing connections
depending on renamed classes?
It would be nice to spare the effort of recreating all the connections.
I looked into the code of the SynchronizeConnectors command and explored the
API:
What about
IRepositoryConnection[] connections = connManager.getAllConnections();
...
connection.setClassName(mappedClass);
...
connManager.save(connection);
I tried it and so far it seems to work.
Do you see any pitfalls with that solution?
Regards,
Markus

Hi Marcus,
The name of the connector class is a key for the connection names that depended
on that class. To rename a connection class, therefore, you need to do the
following:
(1) BEFORE renaming the class, delete all jobs and connections that refer to
that connector.
(2) UNREGISTER the connector class (there's a command-line utility for that)
(3) BUILD your new class
(4) REBUILD everything you deleted

Hi,
i need to rename some connector classes.
When starting MCF with the renamed classes, i obviously stumbles over the
old connections using the old classnames.
It would be nice to be able to migrate the old connections to the new
classnames.
I found the commands SynchronizeConnectors, SynchronizeAuthorities and
SynchronizeTransformations.
But they leave the existing connections with "unregistered" connector
classes.
Is there another command for mapping/renaming connector classes for existing
connections?
Thanks in advance,
Markus
