In order to deploy a flow multiple times on a single execution group (with different promoted properties):
Does anyone knows a way to rename the cmf file, while runing mqsiapplybaroverride or mqsideploy command line?
Any suggestions on how to deploy a flow multiple times to same exec group? |

neither of these commands support changing the cmf name or modifying any part of the bar file other than the configurable properties.
A bar file is just a zip file. |

1. Any ideas how to automate rename of cmf file? (Not a manual change on toolkit).
2. How to run same flow more than once on same exec group?
3. Why exec group runs the name of a flow instead of by name of the created BAR name? |

As stated a bar file is just a zip file. So you can change it any way you like. But IBM does not AFAIK support any bar file that's been modified by any non-IBM provided method.

You can't. You can run more instances of the same flow, which works in most situations.

Because the flow is the component that runs. The bar file name is arbitrary and has no connection to the flow (or flows) it runs. Each bar file can contain 1-n flows and I personally like the fact I can stop or start them individually while still having a single bar file that's everything I need to deploy to an environment.

Well, sometimes (like mine) there is a need to run same flow (with diff properties) more than once on a single exec goup.
On toolkit I can change the cmf name and redeploy.
Why there is no same capability on command line? |

I did say most situations.

How? I can't find that option on mine.

See infocenter af03885
or
Open the BAR Manage's tab, right click and EDIT cmf name. Then deploy to same Exec Group. The look at the EG; you will see the new name.
Do not BUILD the bar; it restores the cmf name !!!! (unless you like to restore; in your case you should) |

Again my signature is vindicated! 
(Mind you, 10 years doing this & I've managed without this knowledge so far...!)
In which case the answer to your question:

is "because no one in IBM thought of it".
Time for an enhancement request.

All of it. Including that part.

Hi all!
We have the same problem over here! I have found no way to rename a flow automatically during build.
My colleague found a very nice way to do what we want:
We have a flow called FlowX. This flow should be deployed to one Execution Group several times with different settings. We have created flows
FlowX_customer1
FlowX_customer2
FlowX_customer3...
Each customer flow simply embeds the FlowX, in other words FlowX is inserted as a subflow in each customer flow. The customer flows can be deployed with different settings and we do not have to duplicate stuff.
You can start to bash this idea now!

I've seen this kind of renaming being done in the V7 toolkit...

In Toolkit 6.1.0.7, I can right click on the cmf file in the BAR file editor and "Edit". Then I can "Enter a new entry name".
This doesn't appear to be possible in 6.0.0.x Toolkit |
