ArcGIS Server 10.2.2 Edit Database Connection Error

[MeleKoneya]

When trying to change the name on an existing Database Connection in the Data Stores,    I get an error saying "Does Not Exist

[ATTACH=CONFIG]34670[/ATTACH]

I am not sure what "Does Not Exist" that the message refers to.    After pressing canecel,  I ran a validate all databases and the database I was trying to renames was validated.

Is there a way to change the name of an existing connection in the data store or is this not allowed?

Thanks

Hi Mele-
Name change is not allowed.  The name of registered connection in your data store has to remain the same as the name of the sde database.

David,

Thanks for your reply.    I was only trying to change the name to add some further connection identifier and not to change the sde database name or server name.    Even though the connection was created using an .sde file,   I was afraid that this might be the case.    Once you name something you can't change it.

Yes you are correct...
