Hi, Pierre Thanks for your reply, but I think I didn't explain well my problem. Not at all critical: it's a development environment.
I'll try to explain it in steps: 1- I set an NT server named "SOL" in 1999 that runs DB2 5.2 and later 7.1 no problem. It appears as "SOL" in the CC. 2- Last month I set a new server "SOLAR" intended to replace "SOL" and install DB2 7.1, copy a couple DBs. 3- I stop the older server "SOL". From now on it will run my little children's games under W98 (it's a Pentium 133). 4- I go to some NT gizmo and rename "SOLAR" to "SOL" as of the OS. Reboot several times. 5.- In the CC the new "SOL" server still appears as "SOLAR". DB2's system name isn't the same as NT's system name. When I try to change DB2's system name using the CC it says that the local object can't be renamed. I spend half a day delving into the docs but still unable to change the name. Unistalling and installing DB2 is a simple and efective solution. DB2 installs as a charm. But I still want to know how to change that #%@* name. Thanks again Juan Lanus TECNOSOL Pierre Saint-Jacques wrote: >You'll need to play with the node entries in the admin nnode directory. >Assume your current system name is SYST1 in the cc. > >You switch to a new system and find that the name is now SYSTNEW >How to get to SYST1 ?? > >On a command line do: >1) db2 list admin node directory > You should see an entry for SYSTNEW >2) db2 uncatalog node SYSTNEW >3) db2 CATALOG [ADMIN] TCPIP NODE node-name REMOTE_INSTANCE DB2DAS00 (or >whatever name your DAS is) >SYSTEM system-name (this you get by doing a db2set -all and find the db2system >entry) OSTYPE os-type WITH "comment string" > > Here fit the entries as you have defined them.
