Move bundle of classes in a different package

[Neerav Verma]

By mistake we made hundreds of classes in a wrong package

Now we need to move them to a different package

In java you just rename the base package and all is well but  here only way I know how to do is CopyClass one by one

Is there an efficient way to do it ?

Thank You,

You might be able to programmatically change them using %Dictionary.ClassDefinition.  I have not tried this myself, although I have altered other properties through %Dictionary….

What I would do is export them all to an XML project file, do a global-replace in there, and then re-import after deleting the internal ones.

 

You could also write a COS routine to rename them but I think this is simpler.

You have to watch out if they are persistent classes because you'll probably want to also change the storage locations to match your new package/class names.

When I have done this, I export the package using do
$System.OBJ.ExportPackage("PackageName","filename.xml")

open the XML file with notepad and globally change the

<Class name="XXXX.Classname"> to <Class name="YYYY.Classname">

save and then just import and compile.

Then just delete the old
