There's no official API that would allow you to rename anything outside of the GUI.

There is no supported method to rename jobs in DataStage from the command line. At V7 the job name is stored in a hashed file called DS_JOBS as well as in hashed file DS_JOBOBJECTS. Both need to be changed. Making a mistake on either file might destroy the project and require a restore.
