A Process Commander system may consist of multiple nodes — multiple instances of server code operating in separate JVMs on different servers.

Externally, nodes are typically identified by the server name in the network. Internally and in logs, a Node ID is used — a 32-character generated identifier stored on the process page as property pxProcess.pySystemNodeID. Unlike the node name, this identifier is unique when two or more Process Commander servers (and JVMs) operate on one hardware server.

This hash value is the second key part of Agent Schedule data instances.

When you change a system name, the node ID values also change, for each node in the system. The system automatically creates the
