Modification to Reserved Global properties

Is it possible to somehow change the relevance code of a reserved global property?

We have a number of machines that for whatever reason were configured to have their FQDN as “computer name”, so when you copy/paste a list of servers with their short names for deployment purposes they will not be found, even though they are in the system. So what I am looking to do is just strip the first part of the name before the first dot directly in the global reserved property “Computer Name”:

root@usdfw22as03 bin

uname -n

usdfw22as03.mrshmc.com

root@usdfw22as03 bin

./qna

BESClientConfigPath must be set

BESClientActionMastheadPath not set, using /etc/opt/BESClient/actionsite.afxm

Q: computer name

A: usdfw22as03.mrshmc.com

T: 4616612

Q: if (computer name contains “.”) then (preceding text of first “.” of computer name) else (computer name)

A: usdfw22as03

T: 22476653

Thank you.

Unfortunately no… You can’t edit reserved properties… and actually even if you could, it wouldn’t fix this particular question about pasting in the names…

You can always make another property (but that won’t affect the computer name targeting either).
