Does anyone know how to set/change a repository name in alfresco? 

id=-default-, name=, description=, capabilities=Repository Capabilities

  • Where are you seeing this output? And what does the repository console say about the name of your repo? (The one at `/alfresco/s/enterprise/admin/admin-systemsummary` ) – Gagravarr Aug 18 '16 at 19:31
  • I'm using Apache Chemistry to get this information with the getRepositories() method from SessionFactory class. And I'm using Alfresco Community so that link is giving me "Web Script Status 404 - Not Found" even if I try `/alfresco/s/community/admin/admin-syste‌​msummary` – Martín Almeida Aug 19 '16 at 14:03

The Alfresco CMIS calls started returning an empty string for name sometime around 5.0, I believe. According to the spec, the name is not a required piece of information. The server is required to return a unique ID for each repository in the system, but that's it.

I do not believe you can change the name without touching Alfresco CMIS implementation Java classes.

Besides, Alfresco only supports a single repository so a name isn't going to add a lot of value.

  • Thanks for the response!! It was a lot of help. But yeah, I needed the name to integrate it to IBM BPM. At last I changed to Alfresco 4.2 since there I have the name of the repository. – Martín Almeida Sep 22 '16 at 14:37
