Change hostname for E-Business Suite

Oracle E-Business Suite is dependent on hostname. User can easily change the IP of
the machine, but user cannot anyhow change the hostname of the machine. To
change the hostname, we need to run AutoConfig on E-Business Suite. 

First, startup dbTier. AppTier is not required at all in the whole process.

FOR DATABASE TIER:

Note:338003.1 How to change the hostname and/or port of the Database Tier using
AutoConfig 

1. Login as oracle user.

2. De-register the current database server.

perl $ORACLE_HOME/appsutil/bin/adgentns.pl appspass=apps
contextfile=$CONTEXT_FILE -removeserver 

3. Update AutoConfig Context file with new host information. Edit $CONTEXT_FILE
directly.
* Copy $CONTEXT_FILE to a new context file.
cp /opt/oracle/product/10.1.0/db/appsutil/PROD_.xml 
/opt/oracle/product/10.1.0/db/appsutil/PROD_.xml
* Edit /opt/oracle/product/10.1.0/db/appsutil/PROD_.xml directly. 
- Replace all to 
- Replace all to < newdomain.com>

4. Change hostname.
- Execute " system-config-network" to change the new hostname for the machine.
- Edit /etc/hosts with " newhost.newdomain.com ip newhost".

(After changing hostname, you'll not be able to startup any graphical application
such as xclock due to "Xlib: connection to :0.0 refused by server". You can press
"ctrl + alt + backspace" to kill x server.) 

5. Execute AutoConfig for dbTier.

cd $ORACLE_HOME/appsutil/bin/
./adconfig.sh contextfile=$ORACLE_HOME/appsutil/PROD_.xml 

FOR APPS TIER: 

Note:341322.1 How to change the hostname of an Applications Tier using AutoConfig

1. Login as applmgr user.

2. De-register the current apps server. 

perl $AD_TOP/bin/adgentns.pl appspass=apps contextfile=$CONTEXT_FILE
-removeserver 

3. Update AutoConfig Context file with new host information. It is easier to edit
$CONTEXT_FILE directly. 
* Copy $CONTEXT_FILE to a new context file.
cp /opt/oracle/apps/prodappl/admin/PROD_.xml 
/opt/oracle/apps/prodappl/admin/PROD_.xml 
* Edit /opt/oracle/apps/prodappl/admin/PROD_.xml directly.
- Replace all to 
- Replace all < olddomain.com> to < newdomain.com>

4. Execute AutoConfig for appTier.

cd $AD_TOP/bin
./adconfig.sh contextfile=/opt/oracle/apps/prodappl/admin/PROD_.xml
appspass=apps 

FINISHING TASK:

AutoConfig doesn't convert E-Business Suite completely. Some settings may remain
unchanged or reset to default. So, it is required to go check the configuration as
described in Cloning Guide. 

Identified steps are:

1. As applmgr, vi /opt/oracle/apps/prodappl/admin/adgetlnxver.sh to ensure ctxfile

is pointing to correct PROD_.xml file. 
ctxfile="/opt/oracle/apps/prodappl/admin/PROD_htb.xml"

2. As applmgr user, vi $IAS_ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Jserv/etc/jserv.properties to

ensure:
wrapper.bin.parameters=-Djava.awt.headless=true 
wrapper.bin.parameters=-
DAdaptorCatalog=/opt/oracle/apps/prodappl/au/11.5.0/java/catalog.xml
wrapper.bin.parameters=-DClientMode=local 

3. As oracle user, do the following:

$ sqlplus apps/apps
sql> update icx_parameters set session_cookie_domain=' newdomain.com';
sql> conn applsys/apps
sql> select profile_option_value from fnd_profile_option_values where
profile_option_value like '%oldhost%';
sql> update fnd_profile_option_values set
profile_option_value='/opt/oracle/db/proddb/9.2.0/appsutil/outbound/PROD_newhos
t' where profile_option_value like '%oldhost%'; 
3 rows will be updated.
sql> exit;
