Asset Book Name Changes in Oracle Configuration

Hi,

I’m facing a specific issue related to changing book names in the configuration. As Oracle does not support renaming asset books directly, I’m following the standard approach of end-dating the existing book names, creating new asset books, and reassigning the categories accordingly.

The challenge is that I have nearly 1,000 categories to reassign. I’m unable to use the Fixed Assets update configuration due to extensive cross-validation rules, which require all accounting segments to be populated for each account.

To work around this, I’m using a configuration package. I export the XML file, open it in Notepad++, and replace the old asset book names with the new ones. I then save the modified XML back into the original ZIP package location and upload it to the system.
