This documentation shows how to change the network domain name of the server that houses an Oracle Applications 11i instance (ebusiness).

1. Log on to the ebusiness server (either on the console or using VNC or PuTTY). Run the network system settings tool (Red Hat menu > System Settings > Network).

Change the server name from ebusiness.support.com to ebusiness. illuminatnm.com. Save the settings. Do not attempt to restart the network services using this tool, since it will disconnect the remote connection tool.

2. Edit the context file $APPL_TOP/admin/TEST_ebusiness.xml and replace ‘support.com’ with ‘illuminatnm.com’. With vi, use this command:

:%s/support.com/illuminatnm.com/g

Save the context file and exit the text editor.

3. Stop the application tier services and then run AutoConfig on the database and application tiers:

cd /u0/oracle/testcomn/admin/scripts/TEST_ebusiness
./adstpall.sh

On the database tier:

cd /u0/oracle/testdb/9.2.0
. TEST_ebusiness.env
cd /u0/oracle/testdb/9.2.0/appsutil/scripts/TEST_ebusiness
./adautocfg.sh

On the application tier:

cd /u0/oracle/testappl
. APPSORA.env
cd /u0/oracle/testcomn/admin/scripts/TEST_ebusiness
./adautocfg.sh

Run the database tier and application tier AutoConfig processes in separate sessions (terminal windows).

4. As the root user, update the hosts file on the server (/etc/hosts) to reflect the new host name:

x.x.x.x   ebusiness.illuminatnm.com   ebusiness

5. As the root user, restart network services:

service network restart

6. As the applmgr user, bounce the application tier services.

cd /u0/oracle/testcomn/admin/scripts/TEST_ebusiness
./adstpall.sh
(wait five minutes)
./adstrtal.sh

7. Log on to the E-Business TEST application on the client machine using the new URL:

http://ebusiness.illuminatnm.com:8001

If E-Business Suite does not launch properly, reboot the server. After booting, start the application tier services. Then log on to the TEST instance.
