Is there any way we can change the Host/Host Group names for a bulk jobs

[Ashmitha Jayaram]

Hi team,

We are looking for a way to update the Host or Host Group names in bulk across multiple jobs. In the current setup, as shown in the screenshot, the agent field is populated with an outdated Host or Host Group.

Our need is to replace this old value with a new Host Group or Agent across all relevant jobs, ideally through a bulk update.

 Please let us know if any scripts are available for this modification. 

 Thanks,
Ashmitha

Hi,

there are multiple options:

*) XML-Export / Search-Replace / XML-Import
*) JSON-Export using the REST API / Replace / JSON-Import using the REST API
*) Unload objects using Transport Case (DBUnload) / Change-Utility ucybchng / Load objects (DBLoad)

Regards, Markus

Hi @Ashmitha Jayaram

you can also change the used Agent in AWI by doing the following:

1. switch to Administration perspective
2. open the Agent list in Agent & Groups  - Agent
3. select the old Agent and open the object-menu
4. select the menu-option Replace
5. mark/un-mark the Jobs where you want to replace the Agent

see https://docs.automic.com/documentation/webhelp/english/ALL/components/DOCU/24.4.0/Automic%20Automation%20Guides/Content/AWA/AdministrationPerspective/AG_Wkg_With_Agents.htm

Thank you, Markus and Michael for the suggestion.

If you regularly have to replace agents, you might want to consider using an external toolkit that can handle this automatically.
This would save you a lot of time.
Send me a private message if you would like to find out more.
