Hi There,

We have a situation in our Dev and UAT environments where the we did not maintain consistency in Security system and Endpoint names for few connections. So we would like to know if there is any option to rename the security system and endpoints name unique across dev,uat and prod, so that in future for any changes made in lower environments can be carried out using transport facility in saviynt without any problems..

if there is a possibility please provide the list of steps to be performed for renaming.

Hi Sampath,

Name cannot be changed using UI. However, it can be changed using the SQL queries - update in the DB tables. (Direct DB  updates are not recommended.)

Thanks,

Thanks pallavi,

Can you name the tables where we should be updating security system and endpoint names to new names.Any backups we need to take before doing this, Although it is dev environment.

We have option edit connection, can we do this from console directly?

Also, an alternative thing, we would like to disable the connection so it is in turn disabling the following. 

1. Endpoint

2. SS

3.Accounts

4.Jobs

5.Entitlements

6. Analytics

So what happens to these objects after disabling its connection. will it stay as unused under that connection? what is your recommendation to manage this data?

Thanks In advance.

Sampath,

Data Analyser is just meant for analysis, as the name suggests.

You cannot update the endpoint/security system name from the UI. I do not think there are even API's available for this purpose.

The best I can suggest is use the displayName in the endpoint/securitysystems as they are preferred for "display" over the actual endpoint/securitysystem name.

If you have to change the actual endpoint name, open a ticket with the support, they "may" be able to help.
