Changing an Instance Name

Scenarios

If multiple DDS instances exist, you may find it difficult to distinguish and identify each instance. DDS allows you to change instance names to help you identify them more easily.

Procedure

1. Log in to the management console.
2. Click in the upper left corner and select a region and a project.
3. Click in the upper left corner of the page and choose Databases > Document Database Service.
4. On the Instances page, click next to the instance name you wish to change, enter a new name and click OK to apply the changes.

   Alternatively, in the DB Information area on the Basic Information page, click in the DB Instance Name field and enter a new name. Then, click to apply the changes.

   

   • The instance name can be the same as an existing instance name.
   • The instance name must contain 4 to 64 characters and must start with a letter. It is case sensitive and can contain letters, digits, hyphens (-), and underscores (_). It cannot contain other special characters.

5. View the results on the Instances page.
