There has been a business decision within our company. Management is asking if we can rename one of our existing organizations in our OPDK, say it is “org_b”, to something else like say “org_triangle”. Can this be done? If so what is the impact to analytics?

Hi @Joe Russo,
The Organization name in Apigee is the primary key for all the various pieces of the system with relation to the Organization. Unfortunately, this cannot be achieved without a ton of unforeseen issues. As such, there is no recommended procedure to do this.
The recommended approach here is to create a new Org (with the new name you wish) and migrate your API Proxies to it by exporting from the old Org and re-importing into the new.
I hope this helps. Thanks.

And for doing what @Alex Toombs said you can use tools like this: https://github.com/apigeecs/apigee-migrate-tool.
A detailed article explaining the usage is here:
Org-id cannot be changed, but you can update the display name for the org. Org-id like @Alex Toombs explained is referenced at multiple places in the data stores and would not allow you to change the org-id.
Thank you all for your input. We have decided the perceived benefits were not worth the risk and will keep the org name as it is. Thanks again!!
