Reporting the changed host name or IP address in the workstation definition

About this task

Run this procedure if you changed the host name or IP address on the following components:
  • Master domain manager
  • Backup master domain manager
  • Fault-tolerant agent and standard agent
  • Domain manager
To modify the host name or the IP address on the workstation definition, perform the following steps:
  1. Use composer or the Dynamic Workload Console to check the workstation definition stored in the database for the HCL Workload Automation instance installed on the workstation where the IP address or the host name changed.
  2. Verify the node attribute contains the new host name or IP address. If this value is changed proceed with Step 3. If this value is not changed skip the steps below.
  3. Change the value of the node parameter with the new value.
  4. Refresh the new workstation definition into the plan. Do it immediately if you are changing the host name or the IP address of a master domain manager or a domain manager. If you are changing them on a workstation that is not a master domain manager or a domain manager you can wait the next scheduled plan generation to refresh your workstation definition in the Symphony file. In this case during this production day you cannot run jobs on this workstation. To generate the plan, perform the following steps:
    1. Run optman ls and take note of the actual value of the enCarryForward parameter.
    2. If this value is not set to all, run
      optman chg cf=ALL 
      to set it to all
    3. Add the new workstation definition to the plan, by running:
      JnextPlan –for 0000 
    4. Reassign the original value to the enCarryForward parameter.
