Hi Can any one advice how to make aliases for AutoSys machine name something like -1045_VM_AMDGC_APP_DEV2 i am using the whole name and unable to find how to make aliases.
As a work around i insert a machine that points to a random dns and then update command to point to an existing agent machine to create an alias. is okay or is there a simpler way to do it. I tried to use insert alias with node name pointing to the real machine but does not allow like that and gives machine already exists error even if the machine name is different.
insert_machine:ALiasname
type:a
nodename:vmsometjing..network.network
You can achieve that with virtual machines:
insert_machine: aliasname
type: v
machine: 1045_VM_AMDGC_APP_DEV2
Then you just need to update the job to point to the aliasname and all will be good, make sure when you delete the machine to update the definition of the virtual as well.
