Remarks

The oldName parameter is the current name of the locator or locator style that you want to rename. The newName parameter is the new name for the locator or locator style.

In ArcSDE workspaces, locator names are prefixed by the name of the ArcSDE user that owns the locator, as in "jack.My Locator".  When you call methods in ArcObjects that have parameters that specify locators in a ArcSDE workspace, you must specify the full name of the locator, including the user name. Failing to do so will result in an error.  You must fully-qualify the oldName parameter with a user name. Do not qualify the newName parameter with a user name; the locator workspace will add the user name automatically.
