Editing Machines

Use Enterprise Manager to edit a machine (agent) definition. Because the Machines editor is read-only while an agent is communicating with SAM, you must stop communication before saving changes and restart it afterward.

Required privilege: Maintain Machines

Edit a machine​

To edit a machine definition, complete the following steps:

  1. In the navigation pane, select Machines under the Administration topic. The Machines screen opens.
  2. In the Select Machine list, select the machine you want to edit.
  3. In the Communication Status frame, right-click the status graphic and select Stop Communication. Communication with the agent stops.
  4. In the General Settings section, update the fields you want to change. You can edit Machine Name, Socket Number, NetCom Name, IP Address, Fully Qualified Domain Name, and Max Concurrent Jobs (Server), as well as any fields in the Advanced Settings section.
  5. Select Save on the Machines toolbar to save your changes.
  6. In the Communication Status frame, right-click the status graphic and select Start Communication. OpCon resumes communication with the agent.
  7. Select Close (the X on the Machines tab) to close the Machines screen.

Result: The updated machine definition is saved. OpCon routes future jobs to the machine using the new settings.

Notes​

  • The Machines editor is read-only while the agent is communicating with SAM. If the machine is currently enabled or in limited status, Stop Communication is available; Start Communication becomes available after communication is stopped.
  • A socket number must be between 1024 and 32767.
  • A NetCom Name is required and cannot exceed 128 characters.
  • Setting Max Concurrent Jobs (Server) to 0 lets the agent control the maximum number of concurrent jobs.
