Solved: Is it possible to rename an organization

Report Inappropriate Content · 10-22-2015 12:39 PM

There has been a business decision within our company. Management is asking if we can rename one of our existing organizations in our OPDK, say it is "org_b", to something else like say "org_triangle". Can this be done? If so what is the impact to analytics?

Hi @Joe Russo,

The Organization name in Apigee is the primary key for all the various pieces of the system with relation to the Organization. Unfortunately, this cannot be achieved without a ton of unforeseen issues. As such, there is no recommended procedure to do this.

The recommended approach here is to create a new Org (with the new name you wish) and migrate your API Proxies to it by exporting from the old Org and re-importing into the new.

I hope this helps. Thanks.

Org-id cannot be changed, but you can update the display name for the org. Org-id like @Alex Toombs explained is referenced at multiple places in the data stores and would not allow you to change the org-id.

Thank you all for your input. We have decided the perceived benefits were not worth the risk and will keep the org name as it is. Thanks again!!

And for doing what @Alex Toombs said you can use tools like this: https://github.com/apigeecs/apigee-migrate-tool.
