I just started to archive feature classes in our enterprise geodatabase. I have the archive feature class which defaults to Feature_Class_H can I rename that to Feature_Class_History to make it a little more descriptive? Or will that cause issues elsewhere?
You are able to rename the archive feature class in ArcMap by going to the feature class properties. But, I can't rename it through ArcGIS Pro. It appears that Esri might have removed that functionality.
With that being said, do not change the table name outside of Esri (like, do not rename it directly through SQL). That will definitely mess up some things. And considering this capability isn't available in ArcGIS Pro and that ArcMap is end of life, I'd be cautious renaming it through ArcMap, especially if the database was created using ArcGIS Pro.
