renameNode command

A short name is assigned to a node during installation and customization. Use the renameNode command to modify the node name of a federated server.

Launch this command from the node whose name to modify. When you issue this command the following occurs:

  1. Connects to the dmgr.
  2. Stops all servers.
  3. Changes the node configuration on the dmgr.
  4. Synchronizes the node.

For more information about where to run this command, see Using command line tools.

We can use the renameNode command to modify managed nodes. However, you cannot use it to modify the node name for a dmgr node. If modify the node name for a dmgr node, modify the WAS_NODE variable within the PROFILE_ROOT/deployment_manager_name/bin/setupCmdLine file. See topics about renaming dmgr nodes.

The command syntax is as follows:

(Windows) 

renameNode.bat dmgr_host dmgr_port node_name
[-nodeshortname name][-trace][-conntype type][-username uid]
[-password pwd][-logfile filename] [-help]
(AIX) (Solaris) 
renameNode.sh dmgr_host dmgr_port node_name
[-nodeshortname name][-trace][-conntype type][-username uid]
[-password pwd][-logfile filename] [-help]
