Use Rename collection in mongoose

I have a problem. I renamed my collection responses into old. It works really well but now I need to retrieve my data and my impediment is that I only used the model to retrieve my data from a collection. But now I need to retrieve my data from my renamed collection but I have no model and schema. I tried to create a schema and a model but it didn't work. It returns no elements.

Here is a part of the code :

app.get("/Play", function (req, res) {
var urlTempBox = 'http://localhost:3000/Play';

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
request(urlTempBox,function(error, response, body) {
if (error) {
throw(error);
}
else{
var jobj = JSON.parse(response.body);
persistRS(jobj);

setTimeout(function() {
ResponseDatabase.find()
.populate('unitCode')
.exec(function(err, finalData){
if(err)throw(err);
mongoose.connection.db.listCollections({name: 'old'})
.next(function(err, collinfo) {
if(err)throw(err);
if (collinfo) {
console.log('lookinOld');
OldResponseDatabase.find()
.populate('unitCode')
.exec(function(err, oldData){
if(err)throw(err);
console.log('itsOld');
console.log(oldData);
res.send(finalData);
});
}
else{
console.log('fk');
res.send(finalData);
}
})
})
}, 5000);
}
});


Here is the part where it doesn't work: console.log(oldData) returns nothing. And I know that my data is in the database when I try to retrieve them.

console.log(oldData)

if (collinfo) {
console.log('lookinOld');
OldResponseDatabase.find()
.populate('unitCode')
.exec(function(err, oldData){
if(err)throw(err);
console.log('itsOld');
console.log(oldData);
res.send(finalData);
});
}

Finally I found how to do maybe it will be usefull for someone

You just need in your schema to precise the name of your collection like this
( collection : 'old' )

var nameSchemaOldRS = new mongoose.Schema({
MainClass: String,
BookingClass: String,
carID: String,
unitCode:{type: String, ref: 'Map' ,required: [true,'No post id found']},
Deck:Number,
Orientation:String,
Position:String,
}, {
versionKey: false,
collection : 'old'
},);
