Locations of server host name in different SAP system files

[former_member270360]

Hello,

We are implementing SAP ECC 6.0, with i5/OS V5R4 on IBM System i.

Could someone please guide me on the locations where the server host name exists in the different SAP system files.

We need to change this server host name, and the reason is that we succeeded lately in installing SAP on a new server using restore from entire system backup done on an old server where SAP is already installed, but we can't connect the new server to the LAN as the old server is still connected to it, and we can't have the same host name in the same LAN, even with two different IP addresses.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

Best regards.

Dear ABHI GUPT,

Thank you for your interest.

Hi Reda,

if you are on 7.0, this would be ok, as this no longer exists now ...

Hi Reda,

Did not pay attention to the release of the system.

yeah in 7.0 , as volker mentioned, there is no R3_nn data area.

Sorry about the confusion.

Thanks

Hi Reda

If the Host name is not the same..you may have to change in the startup/Instance/Default profiles, the new hostname...i.e..replace all the old hostnames with the new hostname....

Also ..you have to check the Data area R3_<NN> in R3<SID>400 library and check to make sure the hostnames correspond to the new hostname...

Then delete all the sql packages before you restart the system.

Hope that helps

Thanks

Changing hostnames on production systems is not supported.

Check the following notes on where to change if you want to do it though:
