Converting a 7-character server short name to 8 characters

By default, WebSphere Application Server for z/OS assumes you are using a 7-character short name (JOBNAME) for your application servers and deployment managers. If your naming standards require 8 characters, you can lengthen the 7-character server short name to 8 characters.

Before you begin

You should consider the following before performing this task:

About this task

To lengthen a 7-character server short name to 8 characters:

Procedure

  1. Change the 7-character server short name to the 8-character name you wish to use:
    1. Navigate to the appropriate application server or deployment manager.

      For an application server, in the administrative console, click Servers > Application Servers > server_name.

      For a deployment manager, in the administrative console, click System administration > Deployment manager.

    2. In the Short name field, replace the 7-character name with the 8-character short name you wish to use.
    3. Click OK.
  2. Update the start command arguments for the servant to use the new 8-character name. If you are reconfiguring a node agent, you can skip this step because it does not have an associated servant process.
    1. Navigate to the servant process.

      For an application server, in the administrative console, click Servers > Application Servers > server_name , and then under Server Infrastructure, click Java and Process Management > Process definition > Servant.

      For a deployment manager, in the administrative console, click System administration > Deployment manager, and then under Server Infrastructure, click Java and process management > Process definition > Servant.

    2. In the startCommandArgs field, replace the 7-character name, designated by the JOBNAME argument, with the 8-character name you wish to use. Do not include the S character at the end of the JOBNAME. For example, JOBNAME=P5SVR1D,ENV=P5CELL.P5NODED.P5SVR1D
    3. Click OK.
  3. Click Save to save your configuration changes.
