Resolving The Problem
This document addresses how to change the system name.
Use the Change Network Attributes (CHGNETA) command to change the system name.
Note: This command requires *ALLOBJ authority.
The name can contain up to 8 alphanumeric characters. The name entered becomes the current system name at the next IPL.
It is important to remember that the Local Control Point Name (LCLCPNAME) and Default Local Location Name (LCLLOCNAME) are used rather than the SYSNAME when setting up SNA communications with APPN. Take this into consideration when changing the SYSNAME because the LCLCPNAME and LCLLOCNAME may also require changes.
