Converting a 7-character server short name to 8 characters

Why and when to perform this task

By default, WebSphere Application Server for z/OS assumes you will be using a 7-character server short name (JOBNAME). If your naming standards require 8 characters, you can lengthen the 7-character server short name to 8 characters by performing the tasks below. Before doing this, it is important to consider the following:

Steps for this task

  1. Change the 7-character server short name to the 8-character name you wish to use:
    1. Navigate to Servers > Application Servers > server_name.
    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 servant's start command arguments to use the new 8-character name. Note that if you are reconfiguring a nodeagent or jmsserver, you can skip this step because neither has an associated servant process.
    1. Navigate to Servers > Application Servers > server_name > 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.
