How can I Rename an ASE Server? 1

[cellis12]

Does anyone have any experience with renaming a Sybase Dataserver? Is it possible? Advisable? Is it as simple as changeing the syservers entry (I suspect not)? I know I can change the interfaces file to address the server however I want, but I'd really like to have the servername changed to a different name(including the run_server file, resource files, etc)

Solaris 8
ASE 12.5

Any help is appreciated.

hello,

you need to...

1. update the srvname and srvnetname columns in sysservers with the new name...

2. shutdown the server...

3. rename the RUN file and it's contents... particularly the -s and -c lines...

4. rename the .cfg file...

5. modify the interfaces file...

6. start the server...

make sure you backup the files before modifying...

hth,
