Updating the Name of a Node

TQX allows you to change the names of Publisher, Subscriber, and Data Transport nodes. Each Publisher and Subscriber node has a name and a Universally Unique Identifier (UUID). Although you cannot change UUIDs, you can customize the names of the nodes in your Topology View.

Any name changes you perform on your instance will only apply to your instance. 

Example: as a publisher, changing the name of a subscriber node in your connections view will not update the subscriber's name in their view on their subscriber instance.  

1. From the OpenDXL Connections page, click the node’s icon in the Topology View.
   
   The node details are displayed on the right side of the screen.
2. Click the node’s name and enter your changes.
3. Click the checkmark on the right side of the field to save your change.
   
   TQX will confirm your change with the following message: Node name updated.

Name changes can take up to thirty seconds to update for all viewers on your instance.
