Changing Domain Name in Oracle Applications 11i

Posted by on October 15, 2008 No comments

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.

  1. 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.

  1. 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).

  1. 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
  1. As the root user, restart network services:
service network restart
  1. As the applmgr user, bounce the application tier services.
cd /u0/oracle/testcomn/admin/scripts/TEST_ebusiness
./adstpall.sh
(wait five minutes)
./adstrtal.sh
  1. 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.

Configuring Network Routes on Linux

Posted by on July 4, 2008 No comments

Problem: Newly installed Linux is not able to access the Internet.

Solution: Route not configured to the gateway.

At a Terminal window, enter:

route add default netmask 0.0.0.0 gw 200.65.1.7 eth1

Configuration for PC in Software Services Area

The network port used by Linux is the one on the main board, not the Ethernet card that is used by Windows.

[root@enterprise ~]# route
Kernel IP routing table
Destination  Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
200.65.1.0   *               255.255.255.0   U     0      0     0 eth1
169.254.0.0  *               255.255.0.0     U     0      0     0 eth1
default      200.65.1.7      0.0.0.0         UG    0      0     0 eth1

Changing DNS Settings on TSTT Paradyne Router

Posted by on November 26, 2007 No comments

After setting up TSTT’s Internet Broadband, users sometimes have difficulty accessing web sites. The user must click the Refresh button several times before the site loads. By default, TSTT’s ADSL router is configured to use TSTT’s DNS server. This DNS server is not very reliable. This documentation shows how to change the DNS Settings on TSTT’s Paradyne router to point to the freely available OpenDNS servers.

Step 1:        Load the web browser (for example, Internet Explorer).

Step 2:        In the Address Bar, type http://192.168.1.1 and press Enter.

Step 3:        The web browser prompts you for a username and password to log into the router. Enter admin in both fields. Then click OK.

Step 4:        The Paradyne ADSL CPE page appears showing the router’s settings.

Step 5:        Using the menu to the left of the page, navigate to Advanced Setup > DNS > DNS Server. The DNS Server Configuration page appears.

Step 6:        By default, TSTT’s DNS Server IP addresses will appear in the fields. Make a note of the current DNS server settings in the event you need to revert to them.

After this, ensure that the Enable Automatic Assigned DNS is unchecked. Enter the following new IP addresses into the fields. Then click Save.

Primary DNS server 208.67.222.222
Secondary DNS server 208.67.220.220

After saving the changes, the router must be rebooted. This can be done by unplugging the router, waiting ten seconds and then plugging back in the router. The router will detect the new settings and begin using them.
