Renaming Components

Component names must match those present in your system configuration file. Test System Maintenance Software operations may not run properly if the names do not match. For example, if you reset the NI MAX database or manually change a resource name or alias from the default NI designated name, Test System Maintenance Software may not recognize a component. The Renaming Components setting ensures test system component names match the names specified in the system configuration file. You must run the Verify Components operation after enabling this setting for the changes to take effect.

Complete the following steps to enable Renaming Components.
  1. Go to the Settings page in Test System Maintenance Software and click the Renaming Components checkbox.
  2. Run the Verify Components operation to automatically rename and detect test system components.
