GoldMine- Rename a User i.e. Change Login Name
There’s only one automatic way to do this which is provided by GoldBox. I’d say there’s a reasonable chance of success but all precautions should definitely be taken.
Below is the Help File Entry from GoldBox:
USER NAME CHANGER
Sometimes you may change an existing GoldMine User Name to a new name if, for example, a user leaves your company and you are assigning those records to a new user. Or, perhaps you need to make the user names more unique or descriptive. For example, you might wish to change the user name DAVE to DPETONIC. GoldBox-SQL gives you the option to replace all affected GoldMine files with the new name without having to run a series of global replacements.
USER NAME CHANGER – SETUP SCREEN:
[Contact File] The Contact File on which to perform the User Name Change.
[Current User] Select the current name, the one you wish to be changed.
[Change To] Select the new name you wish to appear in all affected records.
[Select ALL] Selects all the affected files check boxes to be evaluated for the name change.
[Deselect] De-selects all affected file check boxes.
Affected Files, Listed are the 14 GoldMine files affected by the name change. You can choose to select them all with the above button, or just individual files.
USER NAME CHANGER Launch Example from {Start} {Run}:
C:\GXSQL\GXQ dep /4 USALL
