| Name | Direction | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| InputWorkspace | Input | Workspace | Mandatory | |
| OutputWorkspace | Output | Workspace | Mandatory | |
| RenameMonitors | Input | boolean | False | If true, and monitor workspace found attached to the source workspace, the monitors workspace is renamed too. The monitor workspace name is created from the new workspace name: NewWSName by adding the _monitors suffix (e.g.: NewWSName_monitors) |
Renames a workspace to a different name in the data service. If the same name is provided for input and output then the algorithm will fail with an error. The Renaming is implemented as a removal of the original workspace from the data service and re-addition under the new name.
If run on a group workspace, the members of the group will be renamed if their names follow the pattern groupName_1, groupName_2, etc. (they will be renamed to newName_1, newname_2, etc.). Otherwise, only the group itself will be renamed - the members will keep their previous names.
Example
AnalysisDataService.clear()
myWs=CreateSampleWorkspace()
mon_ws = CreateSampleWorkspace()
myWs.setMonitorWorkspace(mon_ws)

#
NameA = RenameWorkspace(myWs)
#
print "***** After simple rename:"
print "{0:20}|{1:>20}|{2:>20}|".format("Existing WS names: ",NameA.name(),mon_ws.name())

Output:
*********************************************************************
Existing WS names: | myWs| mon_ws|
Exist in ADS: | 2| With Names: | mon_ws| myWs|
***** After simple rename:
Existing WS names: | NameA| mon_ws|
Exist in ADS: | 2| With Names: | NameA| mon_ws|
Old pointer to myWs refers to workspace with new name: NameA
*********************************************************************
***** After renaming workspace and monitors workspace together:
Existing WS names: | NameB| NameB_monitors|
Exist in ADS: | 2| With Names: | NameB| NameB_monitors|
The name of the monitor workspace attached to workspace: NameB| Is: NameB_monitors|
