Topic:
Project_Rename error: Can't translate DSL names.

Description:
Error received running the Project_Rename utility but says it completes
sucessfully.  Start renamed IESX project receive missing files error.
All files were physically on the disk.  Original project works fine.

Solution:
This error happens because the projectname.da file keeps track of the 
number of DSLs added to the project. 
If the project had 10 DSLs originally, then the user added 5, then removed 5,
the projectname.da will record 15 DSLs instead of 10.  
If you do a strings command on the projectname.da file you will see
projectname0001 - projectname0015, instead of projectname0001 - projectname0010.
 
   > strings projectname.da

The fix is to delete the data area and repatch the project:

1) In an xterm window cd to project home disk storage location (DSL).

2) Copy (cp) the project_name.da file to a backup name.
  (i.e. project_name.da_save). 

3) From the IESX Application Selection menu select iesx_util.csh.  Start.

4) Select option #3 - Delete data area - from the iesx_util.csh menu.  This
   option deletes the .da file and removes the project from the 'Select Project'
   list.

5) In the home DSL, copy the project_name.da_save file back to its original
   name.

6) From the IESX Application Selection menu select iesx_patch.csh.  Enter
   project name and DSL information.

7) Reshare any previously shared data.
