About the renaming of drw or prt files in winchill

Question

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 10.2 and Datecode with CPS F000

About the renaming of drw or prt files in winchill:
1. After renaming these files through API, winchill page, Creo client, the renamed records are saved in which database tables;
2. What is the mechanism of renaming? Do the madefromlink table and indentitychangehistory table save the renamed records?
3. What is the relationship between renaming and version number?

The Database table that handles name changes is IdentityChangeHistory. You can add a table to a custom tab that shows rename history. Name and Number should be seen immediately in the respective master tables (WTPartMaster, WTDocumentMaster, etc). As far as the CADNAME for Creo objects, remember that Creo uses filenames to retrieve objects. When a rename occurs, Windchill does not modify the binary content to fix renamed files. This occurs dynamically, each time when and CAD object is brought into a local workspace. It happens on the fly.

There is no relationship between renaming and version numbers. Its not considered a change that causes an iteration since you are updating the master object.
