Changing Hostname

[Former Member]

Hi,

I want to change the hostname on which the SAP system is running. Could you provide me the exact steps to do this.

Thanks

Hi Ramya,

You did n't mention OS, DB?. Let me give you steps for Oracle DB.

SAP stores the hostname in the default, start and instance profiles. The <sid>adm and <ora>sid (for Oracle on Unix) also have environment configuration files which set environment values. These contain the operating system and must be renamed as well.

For Oracle, don't forget to modify the SQL net configuration files (tnsnames.ora and listener.ora).

Within, SAP, do not forget to reload the profiles (RZ10), set the operation modes and instances (RZ04 and RZ03), and reconfigure the transport domain (STMS).

For more information have a look at the homogeneous and heterogeneous system copy guide. It is available for download at http://service.sap.com/instguides

I hope this will help you,

Hari.

PS: Points are welcome.

Hi,

If you are on Windows there are quite a few registry keys to modify...
