# Changing an Existing iProcess Engine Nodename

This section gives you the information about the process to rename an existing iProcess Engine nodename.

## Prerequisites

| • | The `UPDATE_NODENAME` command must be run by the `Pro` user in Linux and the `Administrator` user in Windows.

| • | Before you update the `Nodename` on iProcess Node cluster environment, stop all the nodes.

## Process for Renaming a Node

To rename the nodename of iProcess Engine, the `swadm` utility provides the following command:

    swadm UPDATE_NODENAME [new_nodename]

where, `new_nodename` is the renamed nodename.

Example: `swadm UPDATE_NODENAME <swnod052>`

After running the `swadm` update nodename command, following is a sample output in Linux:

The following is a sample output in Windows.

Note: For Windows, you need to provide the Admin password when it prompts you for the password.

The rename utility updates the following items:

- The Queue.n files under `$SWDIR/queues`.
- The nodename in the `swdefs` file.
- The file name: `$SWDIR/<nodename>.n`.
- The following registry entry with the new nodename for Windows: `
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\TIBCO iProcess\TIBCO iProcess Engine\Nodes`.
- The nodename for iProcess sentinels and the Admin console services for Windows.

In iProcess Engine, the nodename field is no longer relevant as only the current node is used for the iProcess Engine operations. Although you might still see both old and new nodename values in the database, these are either ignored or automatically translated to the new nodename.
