Changing Smartobject Name

Hi all,

 

What's the easiest way to change the name of a Smartobject so that in K2 and SQL Management Studio they have the same name???

 

For example: In K2 Designer, my Smartobject is called: Rooms Smartobject, but in SQL Studio it says Rooms Smartobject Form.

 

If i change the name in K2 Designer, it does not change the Table name in SQL Management Studio on the K2 Server.

 

Is there a way of doing this after a smartobject/table has been created?

 

I want to keep everything tidy, so that the K2 Smartobject/SQL Table names follow a naming convention that matches the project being worked on.

 

I guess i could do a save as on the K2 smartobject, but i don't want to do that, just rename the existing SMOs without breaking any rules/connections.

 

Possible?

Now in service tester utility expand ur Smartobject explorer , expand where ur specific SMO path , mine is at default 

Right click the SMO and Click on View SODX , and a pane will appear on the right of the tester ,

Keep the new name that comes from DB SQL table , and u only need to clear the GUID field , and paste the GUID value u copied in previous step , and click on publish SMO

in this way it will upgrade ur SMO via GUID , and overwrite the existing SMO .

 

Hope it helps!

Regards.
