Changing DB Name - Should I Also Change DBID?

hi everyone,
This is a 10g database on Windows,
I want to rename a database. I discovered also that the global_name is the default of "CAIPDUM.REGRESS.RDBMS.DEV.US.ORACLE.COM"
All my other instances have simply the db name so I will also change that awful global_name to simply match my new database name.
OK - Should I also change the DBID value? Would there be some advantage to always changing the DBID anytime the name was changed?
Thanks. John

You don't have to change DBID once DB_NAME changed. They are serving quit different purpose and not closely related.

  • Changing the name displayed for tracked changes?

    I'm working on a Word document started on a different computer that also had changes made by someone else on a PC and now I'd like to finalize the document on my Mac using the new version of Pages.
    1. How can I change the names of selected tracked changes so they have my name and, instead of the names of the other user and the name of my other computer name?
    Thanks!

  • I have a folder from today that won't let me change its name. I can change the other folders just fine. I do it routinely... any ideas what I screwed up?

    I'm as a loss. I don't understand why today's folder "2014-06-06" won't let me add "_Kim" to the end. I do it will all my folders since I download from a couple of cameras.

    sorry... in PS cc and I closed Photoshop, just in case.... it didn't make 
    any difference and it hasn't ever been an issue before.

  • Re: I changed my name, do I can change it in my profile?

    No, I mean real name. Now Im Michael Volkov, can you change it?

    I think you have to make any changes by editing your Apple ID.  You could try this How to change the name you use for your Apple Id.  I think this will explain what you need to do.

  • When selecting a floating field to change details (name, binding etc), automatically changing field?

    Hi,
    I am having some issues when trying to select a floating field to change its binding, it will be highlighted until I click to change the binding in objects it will automatically change the selected floating field to a differant one. Any assistance would be appreciated.
    Cheers,
    Jared

    thanks for both replies. indeed, i get uniques names when creating each box anew, my problem lies more in that i don't want to have to draw each box individually all those times and had been copying and pasting them, as you mention. i wish there were a function to select the group of them and have acrobat number them, given the amount of boxes i am now renaming manually, one by one!
    kind of like a file-renaming application that allows you to rename a group of files with sequential numbers "file01", "file02" etc. maybe a feature for a future release.
    thanks again!

    Hi,
    Do not change the hostname after the installation, if you need to then you have to perform system copy.
    Refer: Note 8307 - Changing host name on R/3 host: What do you do?

  • Is there a API to  change user name in portal security realm

    Our portal application requires the functionality to change user login name which
    maps to the user_name in USER_SECURITY table.
    The com.bea.p13n.usermgmt.UserManager does not offer a API to change user name, so
    my code changed it directly in the USER_SECURITY table by JDBC.
    My concern is : other tables in portal db may also has the user_name which are not
    be changed correspondingly, this may cause problem which I don't see now (e.g. Entity
    table has user_name also).
    Question is: is there a safe way to change user_name consistantly in portal database?
    like a API or do I have to do it myself. If it is the second case, what other tables
    I need to change.
    Thank you for all your input.
    Ellen

    I also have a similar ?, is changing user name a normal case scenario or a big problem in portal
    Please reply

  • Tried to change short name..and now it's weird.

    I apologize if this is in the wrong area, and I hope it's not. I'm new here.
    So I read on how to change the Short name, and it says I had to enable root account but because the mac Update awhile ago disabled being able to manage the enable/disable option under the disc utility, I had to use Terminal to type the "sudo passwd root. After that, I logged out of my admin account and into my root account, and I went in "users", clicked the name under the "home" icon {my short name} and changed it to something else. But it didn't really "delete" my old one. All it did when I logged back on is simply removed all the files from the "home" under Places and a new folder is created.
    I don't know if it makes sense. You know the little "home" icon with your short name under it? I want to change the name for that, but changing it just creates a new folder, and now I don't know how to disable root again. Any help would be great thanks!

    Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
    If all you did was to change the name of that user in the Accounts panel, then you didn't do the whole job, as (I believe) that account's home folder would still have the old short name. I'd log into "root" again and navigate to the /Users folder. Rename the "new" folder to something else to get it out of the way, then rename the old home folder to the new short name. Now see if things are the way you want them.

  • Change button names

    Hi Experts,
    Is it possible to change the button name in SAP documents? Ex. SO button 'ADD' changed to 'SAVE'.
    Thanks.
    Don

    Hi Don,
    Unfortunately, it is not possible to change button names, we can only change label names. If you want to change button names, you need to customize an addon.
    Hope it helps.

    What happens when you try to change the Shuffle's name from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes?
    Is your iPod set up to manually manage its contents.  For more information, see your iPod's User Guide.
