Is there a reason why you cannot do this in Neo4j Desktop?
It seems like you are really going down into the weeds as you try to rename a database by changing the config file.

In Neo4j Desktop, I'm not able to view the databases with Show Databases command. However the same command works fine in version 4.x
Do not confuse 4.x features when you are connected to a 3.5 database.
A Neo4j Server that is 3.5 allows you to have a single database.
A Neo4j Server that is 4.x allows you to have multiple user databases (Neo4j Desktop and Enterprise Edition)

Thanks for the clarification, I imported the data successfully.
Followed the same steps but getting error archive does not exist. Can u please help me with it
Whatever you are specifying as the absolute path to the dump file does not exist?

Hello, I have the same problem, with ALL my older databases. But for one (neo) open .../import opens even another db:
and then, of course:

What's wrong? my DBMSs; my neo, dbms-62....30 is in the 8th line:

the neo4j.dump comes from Aura. A totally new db takes this dump.
It must be a confusion of the json which defines the project,
thanks
WJI
Can you specify the full absolute path to the dump file, rather than neo4j.dump?
Elaine
Elaine,
thanks you for your comment. Indicating the entire path for the dump file does the job, But as you can see, I'm the right import dir and neo4j is definitively there, but neither ./neo4j.dump nor neo4j.dump is found, yet the ../bin/neo4j-admin is ok. This is an inconsistence of file identification!
Look at the second line of my first scan where the former load.bat is shown.
BTW, of course repeating the whole path for the same directory works:
C:\Users\w_irler.CLESIUS\AppData\Local\Neo4j\Relate\Data\dbmss\dbms-622d5abf-f77d-49e0-ac33-f13439776330\import>../bin/neo4j-admin load --from=C:\Users\w_irler.CLESIUS\AppData\Local\Neo4j\Relate\Data\dbmss\dbms-622d5abf-f77d-49e0-ac33-f13439776330\import\neo4j.dump --force
but is clumsy and redundant, the admin should correctly identify ../ together with ./
WJI
Elaine,
AND the details for the db in the rightermost tab panel don't change, even when I added new nodes which was possible. I have Neo4j-Desktop - 1.4.8 and neo 4.3.3. the problem appeared after upgrading from 1.4.7.
Yet after trying to upgrade this db (dbms-622d5abf-f77d-49e0-ac33-f13439776330) to neo 4.3.4 , all data disappeared, remaining only the import dir.
FinallyI removed this confused db. Another db upgrade is ok.
WJI
@elaine_rosenber I would like to do a data dump but the Neo4j I am doing it from is from an older version..and I realised I can't seem to find the neo4j-admin tool in the path /var/lib/neo4j/bin> Kindly assist.
Thank you, it works for me after several tries because I was confused. I will update with some screenshots.
Hello @madkar777,
Welcome to the Neo4j Community!
These steps are from our "legacy" Graph Data Science course that we are no longer maintaining for updates on Free, Self-Paced, Hands-on Online Training | Free Neo4j Courses from GraphAcademy
It is indeed important to ensure that whatever dump file you are using to create the graph matches the version of the Neo4j server you are using.
We do have a few new courses on our new GraphAcademy site related to Data Science with more to come:
