I cannot find how to rename a process. Is it possible and how?

you can change process group naming rules which will affect processes as well.

@sebastian Thanx for your response. I have tried to rename the process group, but I cannot figure out how to do it in the way to have a different name for processes in the process group. i.e. as described in the attached document, how to rename precesses in the process group: “WebSphere AS ctgCell01 UICluster” from using duplicate names for the diferent processes:

3 processes named: “WebSphere AS ctgCell01 UICluster (YVWMXNode01)”

3 processes named: “WebSphere AS ctgCell01 UICluster (YVWMXNode02)”

To different names for each process:

“WebSphere AS ctgCell01 UICluster (YVWMXNode01:MXUI1)”

“WebSphere AS ctgCell01 UICluster (YVWMXNode01:MXUI2)”

“WebSphere AS ctgCell01 UICluster (YVWMXNode01:MXUI3)”

“WebSphere AS ctgCell01 UICluster (YVWMXNode02:MXUI4)”

“WebSphere AS ctgCell01 UICluster (YVWMXNode02:MXUI5)”

“WebSphere AS ctgCell01 UICluster (YVWMXNode02:MXUI6)”

Probably the best way here would be to use the DT_CLUSTER_ID and DT_NODE_ID variables for each WAS instance.

See my answer in this thread.

Thanx Julius. This looks promising. I'll try and see how I go. The trouble is this is in prod env and I don't know when the servers will be restarted, so very difficult to test if this will work.

[Julius_Loman · Accepted solution]

It has to be restarted anyway.
Actually, I'd recommend setting the variables this way, so for the first node:

• DT_CLUSTER_ID=ctgCell01_UICluster
• DT_NODE_ID=YVWMXNode01:MXUI1

And set the DT_NODE_ID accordingly for other nodes.

This will result in all WAS processes being the same group and with the node identifier.

Since this is a load balancing cluster (I believe this is IBM SCCD or Maximo Asset Management given those cluster names), it should not a big deal if you restart it one by one.

[zelko_zahtila]

Good guess and thanx again. I agree with you on the restart, but I don't have admin rights to WAS console. I cannot be bothered raising a CR for restart, so I have to wait until it gets restarted for some other reason. I am quite sure that your suggestion will achieve what I want to do, so thanx once more.

Using DT_CLUSTER_ID & NODE_ID variables, It is working correctly. we have tested and able to see the JVM's names.
