Renaming a collection with Insight and Luna 6
Note: If you are using Luna 7 this process has been simplified. You just need to rename the collection in Tools > Collection Manager.
1. From Insight Studio select "Publish Collection to LUNA" then "Launch LUNA Publisher".
At the top of the page click "Task List".
Click the "Delete" button for the collection you are trying to rename.
(Note: Before deleting the collection it may be helpful to take a screenshot of the publishing settings page because the fields you've dragged into the who-what-where-when drop zones will be deleted along with the task.)
2. Delete the collection's index from Luna using Admin Tools:
- Admin Tools > Luna Manager > Media Collections > R-click on the Collection and choose delete
3. Run the merge and load task to completely remove all traces of the collection from Luna from "Task List" mentioned in step 1.
4. To change a collection name in an Insight 5.x/6x database, you will need to do the following:
Note: The collection name must match between the collection Manager and the User Manager.
In the User Manager:
Change the collection name.
In the Collection Manager:
- Change the Media Group name
2. Change the collection name in Collection Configuration
3. Change the "Collection" Field Standard Name
Almost there!
5. Restart the Luna service. (tomcat)
Linux: ~LunaImaging/6.x/LUNA/tomcat/bin/
To run "./start_tomcat.sh" directly in that directory.
Windows: ~LunaImaging\6.x\LUNA\tomcat\bin\
To run "start_tomcat.bat" directly in that directory. If you have installed as a "service", you should restart the service under "Services"
6. In Studio publish the collection to Luna again
7. Done.
To validate take a look at Insight to make sure the collection name has changed throughout. Below is an example of what may happen if not all the changes are made.
Collection names in the Insight Java Client are derived from several locations. If you make changes to one location, you may see inconsistencies in other locations. In the examples that follow, only the User Manager collection name was changed. This sample collection was created with the name "Original Name" in Insight Studio. The name was then adjusted to "User Manager Name" on the User Manager of the Administrator Tools. Below are the changes that occurred. When logging into Insight, Inscribe or Insight Studio the name of the collection comes from the User Manager:
Once logged in, you will see the collection name in several places
The User Manager collection name will display in:
- The title bar
- The collection value in the data display
The original collection name ("Original Name") shows up in two other areas:
- The main collection Group (derived from the Media Group name)
- The standard name in the data display (derived from the Field Standards)
There is also one more area that the User Manager collection name will display in;
