RRC templates: Can I change the machine name in the template ?
Hi
When I create a new RRC template from existing project, it looks like the template contains original machine name, some oid (may be uuid). For example, JKE Banking template has the entry like this in the file, "JKE Banking.archive\REQUIREMENT_TYPE\_YiHq9Bn4EeKFJs3cNCgjcw"
<rm:ObjectType rdf:about="https://clmwb.ibm.com:9444/rdm/types/_YiHq9Bn4EeKFJs3cNCgjcw">
The file name and the leaf of URL matches, but it contains the original server name (I guess). So I'm thinking to prepare some script to change the machine name. Wonder if this is good way, or even supported. The intended script will change like:
<rm:ObjectType rdf:about="https://localhost/rdm/types/_YiHq9Bn4EeKFJs3cNCgjcw">
I have not created a script, so not sure if it actually works or not.
Hope someone have some ideas about replacing host name in the template.

I have never tried changing them in the template file, but I expect it to work. The hostname in the template are converted to the actual hostname of the RRC installation where the template is deployed.

As a matter of fact, I'm thinking to setup the machine using virtual name similar to JKE banking, so that we won't break the rule.
