Hi,
I need to rename a Unix agent in controlM. Can someone help me to do it?

Agent is already configured and jobs are running on the this machine.
Only the name is getting changed.
I need to know which all places should I change the name.

Hi

If your server name changed, and your Control-m server know it,
you must modify all jobs definition working on it.

Thanks for your reply.
Could let me know how do we change the agen name in the server side?

Navanees,
In case the hosname of your agent has changed from "hostold" to "hostnew", I understand that jobs are still submitted to "hostold" for it is still used in the NodeId/Group field of thejob definitions, in which case your jobs probably turn blue instead of expected yellow.
The simplest is to set up a logical association between "hosthold" and "hostnew".

You can do this be defining a nodegroup named "hostold" and which contains the only nodeid "hostnew".
This definition is done using ctm_menu --> 6 - Node Group --> 2 - Edit Node Group --> 2 - Add Node ID

Cheers

Hi ,

You can update the CONFG.dat file for agent in below path

~<controlm>/ctm/data/CONFIG.dat

LOCALHOST <New>
LOGICAL_AGENT_NAME <New>

Then u can verify it by ctmagcfg

after this restart the agent services to know gateway know the new name

Thanks,
Mani
