# Setting the Director Used by Engines

The Primary and Secondary Directors for an Engine are set during Engine installation. You can later change the Directors to which an Engine reports, by changing the Engine Configuration used by the Engine.

## For Linux64 Engine

Prior to moving Engines from all versions earlier than 7.0.0_hotfix08 to 7.1.0, you must perform the following steps:

1. Stop the server.

2. As a best practice, take a backup of the existing `engine.sh` file.

3. Replace `engine.sh` file - from the `engineScriptUpdate` folder to `datasynapse/manager/webapps/livecluster/engineUpdate/linux64/ and datasynapse/manager-data/engineUpdate/linux64/` folder.

4. Start the server.

5. Let the Engines log in and then restart the Engine Daemon.

6. Move the Engines.

Note:

In case of Grid Architecture, perform the steps from step 1 to step 5 on the Primary Director.

## Configuring an Engine's Director

| 1. | Go to Grid Components > Engines > Engine Configurations.

| 2. | Select the Engine Configuration used by the Engine. This is typically the operating system of the Engine.

| 3. | In the Directors and Brokers section, change Primary Director URL and Secondary Director URL to the corresponding addresses and ports of the Primary and Secondary Directors, in the format `http(s)://address:port`.

Note that this changes the Directors for all Engines using that Engine Configuration. Also note that when moving Engines from one grid to another, Engines lose any custom Engine properties that are defined on the former Director’s grid, because those are stored in the grid’s administrative repository.
