When to run the Rename Document Library Object command

When you need to run the Rename Document Library Object (RNMDLO) command, schedule it just before you back up document library objects.

If the rename operation is performed just before saving the document library object, the changed name is saved and the information on the media will be the same as what is on the system.

If you rename a document library object after a save operation, the document library object name on the system is different than the name on the media. However, the system object names remain the same. The restore operation fails because the system thinks that the document library object already exists. Message CPF90A3 or CPF909C is sent indicating that the document or folder already exists.

To create a new document or folder, specify NEWOBJ(*NEW).
To replace an existing document, specify RENAME(document-name), where document-name is the name that is given to the document by the RNMDLO command.
To replace an existing folder, specify RSTFLR(folder-name), where folder-name is the name that is given to the folder by the RNMDLO command.
