Rename Target in OEM Grid Control Without Removing Target

1. Go to the target machine when you can change the target name

2. Go to agent ORACLE_HOME/sysman/emd directory

3. Find the targets.xml file

4. make a backup of copy of the targets.xml to something like targets.xml.bak

Edit the file and search for the target name you want to change and then change the name to the new name you want the target to have.

6. Go to agent ORACLE_HOME/bin directory and run the following

emctl stop agent

emctl clearstate agent

emctl start agent

emctl reload agent

emctl upload agent

After a few minutes go into the OEM Grid Control GUI and you should see the new target name
