Changing an Established Internet Domain
If the internet domain associated with an organization context is changed by modifying the organization participant using the Participant Administration utility, the previous internet domain is no longer recognized as being associated with the organization context. Any types associated with the organization context’s previous internet domain are no longer recognized as mapping to the organization.
If the internet domain name of the organization is changed, each type associated with the organization context’s previous internet domain must be edited in the Manage Types window of the Type and Attribute Management utility so that the type internal name contains the new internet domain reversed.
For example, the World Wide Tractors organization participant has an internet domain of worldwidetractors.com. A subtype of Engine created in that organization has the internal name of com.worldwidetractors.Engine.
If the internet domain is later changed using the Participant Administration utility to wwtractor.com, then the com.worldwidetractors.Engine subtype is no longer associated with the organization’s internet domain.
To associate the com.worldwidetractors.Engine subtype with the organization’s new internet domain name, the type’s internal name must be edited from com.worldwidetractors.Engine to com.wwtractor.Engine.
