By default, WebSphere Application Server for z/OS assumes you are

deployment managers. If your naming standards require 8 characters, you can
lengthen the 7-character server short name to 8 characters.

About this task
To lengthen a 7-character server short name to 8 characters:
Procedure
- Change the 7-character server short name to the 8-character name
you wish to use:
- 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.
- In the Short name field, replace the 7-character name
with the 8-character short name you wish to use.
- Click OK.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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
- Click OK.
