It may depend on which DBMS you’re using. On Oracle? No easy way to do it. You have to backup and restore the schema. Even then I suspect there is some cleanup required.

Isnt it easier to make a new repository and export you code from the old repoository to the new…? then you have a new repository name.

That is the easiest.

Actually, you can change the name without recreating a new repo. (5 min)
1-Go to the CMC, in the option data services you will have a list with your repositories.
2-Choose the one you want to rename
3-Delete it. This action wont delete the repository from the metadata database, it will only unregisters it from the CMC
4-Add a new repository in the CMC using the same connection string than the previously deleted repository and rename it how you like. Viola, repository renamed
WIth this procedure you don’t loss objects from your repository neither you have to migrate your code, with big repositories it could be tedious.
Hope it helps!
