After you rename the Site Director in SCT, use the Metasys Database Manager to update the Site Director and the device names in the JCI databases. When you perform the rename process in both the SCT and the Metasys Database Manager, you ensure that your upgraded site continues to access historical data.
To access the Metasys Rename Assistant, browse to C:\Program Files (x86)\Johnson Controls\Metasys Database Manager. Right-click Metasys Rename Assistant and select Run as administrator in the Metasys Database Manager folder.
During the rename process, you must uninstall and reinstall some
Metasys software. You may require the following installation documents:
- Open Application Server (OAS) Installation and Upgrade Guide (LIT-12013222)
- SCT Installation and Upgrade Instructions (LIT-12012067)
Note: Starting at
Release 8.1, the Metasys server, SCT computer, and network engines are installed
with self-signed certificates, which enables encrypted network communication between
the devices. To prevent a certificate warning during the rename process, you must
remove the self-signed certificate that uses the old computer name.
