How to refresh target system name

[Former Member]

Hi, buddies.

The target host name which saved as hostname and IP pair in the OS hosts file is used in the RFC connection or HTTP connection from SAP ECC to XI.

Rightnow I will change the target XI system into a new one and I replace the same hostname with a new IP which represents the new target XI system.

However the ECC still connect to the old XI system through hostname. I am wondering whether there are some configurations in the ECC that can refresh the setttings.

Thanks for your replies.

I am afraid that does not reach my aim. Really I want to switch the XI system without change the hostname and I wish using the hostname in the RFC or HTTP connection.

Looking forward your advanced ideas.

Thanks again.

Hi,

If new xi system also same IP address . Using IP address if you maintain the connection at ECC system end and User ID's, pwd's are same..i don't think you require to refresh the target system.

Just check the RFC Destination R/3, XI end it's able to connect both.
