Urgent! Changing hostname for J2EE installation

[Former Member]

Hello,

I'm getting confused! I'm trying to change the hostname for a j2ee engine installation (WebAS 6.40)!

WebAS and DB are on the same server. I did everthing from the note 757692!!!

But when I change in the registry the key SAPLOCALHOST to the new servername and then start the j2ee engine the key is changed back to the old hostname!! and the engine is not starting!

I'm using windows 2003 with WebAS 6.40 SP14 and MS Sql as database.

Thanks for your help.

Best regards

Hello Olaf,

Try to restart the OS also before re-starting the J2EE. That may help.

Hi,

sorry that is not the problem. I restarted the os serveral times before I made the changes in the configtool and try to start the j2ee.

After a log time the j2ee is now starting but the regkey for SAPLOCALHOST is still the old hostname.

Regards

Has this question ever been answered? I tried everything in the note as well, still can't get it to work.

As a workaround i'm now installing the J2EE Engine on another server, then gonna do a java system copy via export/import. but i'd like to get the note to work as well.
