In the catalog window, the naming scheme shows up correctly for the new database, but when I add the layer to the map, the naming scheme changes to the old database. New database is called FocalAreasTest1, old database is called FocalAreas.&nbsp;It only appears to affect the feature classes I copied over and not the tables. Any idea why this might be happening and how to fix it? The source looks correct, it's just the name in the TOC.</P><P></P><P>New database in catalog window naming scheme (FocalAreasTest1):</P><P><IMG __jive_id="375696" alt="" class="image-1 jive-image j-img-original" src="https://community.esri.com/legacyfs/online/375696_Capture.PNG" style="height: auto;" /></P><P></P><P>Added MonitoringPoint&nbsp;feature class to the TOC, along with a table that I also copied from old database to new using the same procedures as the feature classes, notice how they are both children&nbsp;of a single&nbsp;parent database (the new one):</P><P><IMG __jive_id="375697" alt="" class="image-2 jive-image j-img-original" src="https://community.esri.com/legacyfs/online/375697_Capture1.PNG" style="height: auto;" /></P><P></P><P>Source window for the newly added MonitoringPoint feature class where it looks to come from the correct source:</P><P><IMG __jive_id="375750" alt="" class="image-3 jive-image j-img-original" src="https://community.esri.com/legacyfs/online/375750_Capture2.PNG" style="height: auto;" /></P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 03 Oct 2017 11:50:11 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/geodatabase-questions/copying-feature-classes-between-enterprise/m-p/857156#M5566 MKF62 2017-10-03T11:50:11Z Re: Copying feature classes between enterprise geodatabases...old geodatabase name showing up in TOC? https://community.esri.com/t5/geodatabase-questions/copying-feature-classes-between-enterprise/m-p/857157#M5567 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Nevermind, all I had to do was change the Alias which somehow was set as the old database name...</P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 03 Oct 2017 11:54:20 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/geodatabase-questions/copying-feature-classes-between-enterprise/m-p/857157#M5567 MKF62 2017-10-03T11:54:20Z Re: Copying feature classes between enterprise geodatabases...old geodatabase name showing up in TOC? https://community.esri.com/t5/geodatabase-questions/copying-feature-classes-between-enterprise/m-p/857158#M5568 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>When you copy-pasted the features from one schema/database to another, it changes the Full Table Name, but the Alias Name remains unchanged.
