Error DBA1501 The local system object is not allowed to be changed

thread178-1166318

Error DBA1501 The local system object is not allowed to be changed

Error DBA1501 The local system object is not allowed to be changed

(OP)
I changed my computer name and I need to change the name listed in DB2 Control Center under systems to match my new PC name.

When I try to change the name I get the following message

DBA1501 The local system object is not allowed to be changed

Is there a way to get around this? Registry? INI file somewhere? DLL file maybe?

Anyone had this issue before?

Thanks

RE: Error DBA1501 The local system object is not allowed to be changed

Found this on the web, which seems to detail roughly the steps I would expect to do.

Rename the node:
<node name> refers to the node name of your old system.
<new system> refers to your new system name.
1. db2 list admin node directory show detail
2. db2admin stop
3. db2 uncatalog node <node name>
4. db2 catalog admin local node <node name> system <new system> ostype NT with ‘<new system>’
5. db2 list admin node directory show detail
Set the new system name in the registry:
1. db2 terminate
2. db2set –g DB2SYSTEM=<new system>
3. db2admin start

Cheers
