Re: Changing System Name

[Carl Galgano <cgalgano@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Walden:
There is no way to no effect the PCs that I know if.  Also, be sure to
change the control point name (in CHGNETA) to be the same as the system
name.  It makes SNA configurations much easier.  Be sure you have all APPC
controllers varied off (better use the console for safety) before you try
to do this.
