  Transport Requests: If the renaming was done in a development environment and you are moving to a production environment, ensure that the transport requests containing the changes are properly imported.

  Check for Dependencies: Ensure that there are no dependencies or objects that are still trying to access the old InfoArea name. This may include queries, data sources, or other InfoProviders.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If the renaming was part of a larger project or upgrade, consult the project documentation to understand the implications of the change.
