renaming name of an object

hi all,

 

I am trying to rename the name of couple of objects. I know there will be dependency for that if any apex references exists for the object it will not allow to rename. In the same way if i try change in the apex and try to save it will not allow since the object doesnot exists

 

Is there anyway to overcome this and rename the objects..

I dont think there is a straight way to overcome this.

 

you can achive this by some other way

Extract org data in eclipse project (by creating force.com project)

Search all references using search utility , comment the part accordingly [ be careful while commenting , again yu nee dto uncomment it]

Save to Server

go to salesforce rename the custom object name

using eclipse, replace all OLD_Custom_object__c by NEW_Custom_object__c

uncomment all changes

Save to server

 

hope this trick will help you

 

Thanks,

Bala
