Can the tabs be renamed in the source file? Are there any specific rules to this renaming?

Yes, there are some rules as below:

Whole numbers and decimal numbers are not allowed in the tab name (e.g "1672872","1.5"). However, alphanumeric values can be used (e.g "1.Partner").
Date format is not allowed.
All the excel rules for tab name are applicable.
Spaces are allowed.
Period(.) is allowed (example: "1.Partner","Partner.site")

Note - This is applicable only for the source files used in Data Load automation. The Standard CDIF templates and the tab names within can not be modified. If modified, the CDIF load will be failed.
