## 4.7. Renaming Workspaces

A member of the `admin` group can rename a workspace by following the steps below.

Important: The EKM server must be shut down before you can rename a workspace and then restarted afterwards for the change to take effect.

1. Shut down the EKM server. Refer to the chapter on Starting and Connecting to EKM in the Installation Guide for details.

2. Navigate to the ``<ekm-install>`/repositories` folder and then rename the workspace folder.

   Example:

   If the current workspace is named `Analysts1` and you want to change it to `Analysts2`, then rename ``<ekm-install>`/repositories/Analysts1` to ``<ekm-install>`/repositories/Analysts2`.

3. Open the workspace.xml file in the workspace folder you just renamed and make the following changes:

   1. Change the name of the workspace in the `Workspace` root element to the new workspace name.

      Example:

      `<Workspace name="Analysts2">`

   2. In the `PersistenceManager` element, for the `param` setting named `schemaObjectPrefix`, change the `value` of `${wsp.name}_` to the OLD workspace name.

      Example:

      `<PersistenceManager class="org.apache.jackrabbit.core.persistence.bundle.BundleDbPersistenceManager">`

      `<param name="schemaObjectPrefix" value="Analysts1_"/>`

4. Restart the EKM server. Refer to the chapter on Starting the EKM Server and Launching the Web Client in the Installation Guide for details.
