Changing a Host Name

If your host name changes, use the Shared Services Registry editor — epmsys_registry(.sh)— to update the host value in the Shared Services Registry, and then stop and restart all EPM System components on all machines.

  To update the host value in the Shared Services Registry:

  1. Run epmsys_registry(.sh) view HOST.

  2. Make a note of the ID for the HOST component to be updated.

  3. Run epmsys_registry(.sh) updateProperty #ID/@host new_hostname, where ID is the ID that you copied in the preceding step.

  4. To ensure that the ID for the HOST component was updated, run epmsys_registry(.sh) view #ID.

Note:

The name of the host component is not updated. You can use the same procedure to update the host component name

Follow this procedure only if the host name has changed. If you have moved a component from one host to another, the Shared Services Registry is updated when you install and configure the component on the new host.

Note:

If you install EPM System products on a new host machine during an upgrade to Release 11.1.2.1, you must update references for some products to reflect the new host name and port number. See “Updating References to a Rehosted Environment” in the Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management System Installation and Configuration Guide.
