# Package Renaming

# Introduction

This feature allows administrators to convert cryptic package names into easily understandable, readable names. The new package name will be visible in the License Monitor and historical reports.

Apply the configurations shown in the Open iT server.

# Configuring `package-rename.map`

Open package-rename.map in the Configuration directory, which is by default in C:\Program Files\OpeniT\Core\Configuration.

Notice that it contains instructions on how to edit the file.
Specify the product/s to rename with the following syntax:
```
MAP: NewPackageName 
OldPackageName
```
Empty lines are allowed — any line beginning with # as the first non-white character is considered a comment. Globbing is also supported.
Example
```
MAP: Package635
Package325
```
This example renames all of the Package325 packages to Package635.
Save the changes.

Open package-rename.map in the etc directory, which is by default in /var/opt/openit/etc.

Notice that it contains instructions on how to edit the file.
Specify the product/s to rename with the following syntax:
```
MAP: NewPackageName 
OldPackageName
```
Empty lines are allowed — any line beginning with # as the first non-white character is considered a comment. Globbing is also supported.
Example
```
MAP: Package635
Package325
```
This example renames all of the Package325 packages to Package635.
Save the changes.
