Change CI Family/Class Using GRLoader

You can change the Family and Class for a CI by using GRLoader.

To change the Family or Class of a CI using GRLoader

1. Create XML code to change the CI attribute.
2. Using GRLoader, open the CI you want to modify.
3. Run the XML through GRLoader to change the CI attribute.

   The Family and Class for a CI are changed.

Example: Set the Class of an Open CI to Document

The following example shows an XML fragment that sets the class of an open CI to Document.

<ci>
    <name>document number 1
    <class>Document
</ci>

Important! Do not attempt to update both the Family and Class attributes of a CI at the same time. To change both, you must use two separate CI updates in two separate invocations of GRLoader).
