Details

As Service Optimization installation moves through its life cycle, Collections are sometimes renamed for archival purposes, or in the process of an upgrade. What was previously a customisation also sometimes becomes a product feature (Service Optimization typically prefixes such Collection with 'User_').

Xoom can now automatically detect such renames under a limited set of circumstances where it is safe to do so. Detection of renames will be successful if:
  • the two Collections have the same ID.
  • their names are related so that either the old name is a subset of the new name, or vice versa (for example, 'User_BundlerPolicy' and 'BundlerPolicy').
  • there are no other Collections in the system with the new name (which would cause a name clash and database corruption)
  • the two collections are structurally identical.
By default, this behaviour is enabled.
