You can make changes to a tenant from the database administration console. For example, you can add it to or remove it from a group, add users, or domains, and rename a tenant (when tenant is a part of a group).

If space for a tenant partition has not yet been allocated, you can alter the allocation state, change the area assignment, and select the buffer pool assignment. You can also enable or disable access to a tenant's data.

Note that:

  • You cannot disable access to the tenant you belong to as a user.
  • You cannot disable access for a super-tenant. A super-tenant does not have its own data.
  • You can rename a regular or super-tenant.
  • You can rename a tenant when it is part of a group.
  • You cannot rename the default tenant.
  • The allocation state you choose for a table applies also to its indexes and LOB fields.

To edit a tenant:

  1. On the management console menu, select Database Administration > Go to Database Administration.
    The Database Administration page appears.
  2. Filter or search for, and select the required database connection.
    The database connection home page appears.
  3. In the Storage Management section, click View tenants.
  4. Select the tenant you want to edit. The tenant details page appears.
  5. Under Manage Tenant, click Edit tenant. The Edit tenant page appears.
  6. In the Tenant name field, replace the existing tenant name with a new tenant name.
  7. Choose the appropriate tab to make the changes you want:
    • General—You can enable or disable tenant data access; change the default data area, index area, or LOB area; and modify a table's allocation rule. (Note that the modification to the allocation rule affects only the unallocated partitions.)
    • Partitions—For each table or table object, you can modify the buffer pool assignment, choosing either Primary or Alternate. If the partitions have already been allocated, you cannot change the area or the allocation state.
    • Groups—You can add a group, or generate a tenant creation program. For more information, see Create a group or group program.
    • Users—You can add a user. For more information, see Add a user to a tenant.
    • Domains—You can add a domain. For more information, see Add a tenant domain.
  8. Make the changes to the tenant; when you finish, click Commit.

    If you have renamed the tenant, the new tenant name appears on the list frame after you commit the changes.

OpenEdge Management console submits an asynchronous task to the OpenEdge servers when you edit a tenant in a database and commit the saved changes. You can view status of such a task in the Database Administration Tasks page by selecting Database Administration > View > Database Tasks.
