Help - Modifying the System Name and ID

Modifying the System Name and ID

Scenario: You are settings up a distributed system using two projects that have same the System name or System ID. The projects that you want to set up in distribution can have the following conditions:

●: Newly created projects (with default the System name and System ID)

●: Restored and upgraded projects (for example, from a previous version)

●: Projects created using the project templates that are available on your product DVD

	NOTICE
	NOTE: Do not to change System name and/or System ID after you configure projects in distribution. Otherwise, you will not be able to work with the partner system in distribution. For more information see Troubleshooting the Distributed System.

To work in a distributed environment, the System name and System ID associated with the project must be unique. Therefore, you want to modify the System name and System ID of one of the projects that you want to configure in distribution, using the following procedure.

▷: You have a linked an HDB to the project whose system name or system ID you want to modify and then you have started the project.

▷: You have no relevant data in temporary HD2 files. For more information, see cleared the HD2 files for a project.

▷: The project is stopped and the distribution is disabled.

1.: In the SMC tree, select Projects > [project].

2.: In the Projects tree, select the project for which you want to modify the System name and System ID.

3.: Click Change System Info .

4.: In the Server Project Information expander, change the default values by entering a unique system name and system ID by changing the default values.

5.: Click Save Project .

⇨: A message displays if the selected HDB for the project is already linked to another project.

6.: Click OK to link the selected HDB to this project. This internally saves the project data in the selected HDB.

⇨: A confirmation message displays.

7.: Click OK.
NOTE: Since the system details are changed, you must align all linked the Web applications on client with the changed system settings.

⇨: A message displays if the port numbers of the project whose System name and System ID you are about to save are in use. Proceed as follows:
a. Click OK.
b. Click Edit to enable the port fields.
c. Edit the port numbers according to the given range, ensuring that they are not the same as those of another started project on the Server.
d. Click Save Project .
e. Click Change System Info again.
f. In the Server Project Information expander, again provide a unique System name and System ID for by changing the default values.
g. Click Save Project .

⇨: The system details are updated.

Next Step

Start the project.

NOTE:
In Desigo CC, several components such as graphics, Macros, Scopes, and so on store the System name and System ID internally. Some components such as Reporting, store this system information in the xml file format. HDB stores the system information in the History database associated with the project. On changing the System name or System ID of the project, these components are updated with the new information.
For example, when you change the System name of a project that has an already linked HDB, on saving the project updated System name or System ID or both are aligned in the linked HDB.
Similarly, when to a project you link an HDB, that is already linked to another project having different system name, on saving the project a confirmation message displays and on not confirming the Linked HDB state displays in red as System name mismatch with the project.
