Logging onto EM in Different Environments

[Hubba]

I have two serparate EM's. One in Production and one in Development. If I want to logon to either one, I have to logoff and change the Host name in my advanced tab, hit apply, and go from there. I'd like to have a dropdown to select which Ctrlm. Anyone know how to set this up?

This cannot be acheived in Enterprise Manager as Host Name Entry takes only one value.

Create two shortcuts, one for each environment, on your desktop!

How to do (EM 6.2 example) :
Go to « C:\Program Files\BMC Software\CONTROL-M EM 6.2.01\Default\etc\domains »
1. make a save copy of your confg.xml file
2. make two other config.xml file copies; call them config_EMPROD.xml and config_EMDEV.xml.

Update hostname and port number in config_EMPROD.xml (Production). Below an example of updated line :
variable name="-ORBInitRef" value="NameService=corbaloc::1.2@MyProdHost:15307/NameService"

Update hostname and port number in config_EMDEV.xml (Development). Below an example of updated line
variable name="-ORBInitRef" value="NameService=corbaloc::1.2@MyDevHost:14987/NameService"

Then create two .bat file in « bin » directory
« C:\Program Files\BMC Software\CONTROL-M EM 6.2.01\bin »

EMPROD.bat file
del "C:\Program Files\BMC Software\CONTROL-M EM 6.2.01\etc\domains\config.xml" /q
copy "C:\Program Files\BMC Software\CONTROL-M EM 6.2.01\etc\domains\config_EMPROD.xml" "C:\Program Files\BMC Software\CONTROL-M EM 6.2.01\etc\domains\config.xml"

cd "C:\Program Files\BMC Software\CONTROL-M EM 6.2.01\bin"

start emgui.exe

exit

EMDEV.bat file :
del "C:\Program Files\BMC Software\CONTROL-M EM 6.2.01\etc\domains\config.xml" /q
copy "C:\Program Files\BMC Software\CONTROL-M EM 6.2.01\etc\domains\config_EMDEV.xml" "C:\Program Files\BMC Software\CONTROL-M EM 6.2.01\etc\domains\config.xml"

cd "C:\Program Files\BMC Software\CONTROL-M EM 6.2.01\bin"

start emgui.exe

exit

Create two shortcuts EMDEV and EMPROD.
