12c change host target name / ip address without reinstalling agent

Is there a way, to change the configuration?
Details: Host target was added manually, agent was deployed successfully, the host name is an IP address, dns is not working here.
Now the IP address was changed, I can not add a new host using the new address, because em says the agent base directory is not empty...
I just want to add a new host without removing the previous agent installation.
Or even simpler, change the configuration of the existing host (that is name displayed in EM and host IP address).
I am somewhat confused, it seems to be not possible, or I cannot see it after searching quite some time through the different menus and the documentation.
Any hint, please?

We have tested steps to re-point an existing agent to a new OMS without requiring re-push of the agent binaries. The same steps should work for what you are trying at achieve, although note you will have to remove the original targets, so target history will be lost. The only piece this avoids is re-push of the agent binaries. The steps are:
1. Shut down the running 12c agent with the below command:
$AGENT_INSTANCE_HOME/bin/emctl stop agent
2. Remove the agent instance home:
rm -rf $AGENT_INSTANCE_HOME
3. Manually remove the targets monitored by the agent in the EM console.
4. Create a new instance home pointing to the new oms:
$AGENT_BASE_DIR/core/12.1.0.1.0/sysman/install/agentDeploy.sh
AGENT_BASE_DIR=<location of the agent base dir> OMS_HOST=<oms hostname>
EM_UPLOAD_PORT=<http/https upload port>
@ AGENT_REGISTRATION_PASSWORD=<registration password>
AGENT_INSTANCE_HOME=<absolute path where the instance home has to be created>
-configOnly
We will get these steps added to the official documentation. Let us know if you run into difficulties.

Is it possible to change the font name and size without having to compile?

Dear All
We have one requirement that we need to change the font name and font size at run time dynamically without having to compile all the forms in 6i.
Is there any way or work around to achieve the same.Kindly suggest us.
something like using uifont.ali or forms60_defaultfont, or set_item_property
Thanks and Regards
Thangaraj.

Dear All,
Thanks for your updates, Technically what both of you said is correct. but in application server we used something like ClientDPI to match the client server font with the application server, i need to know that is there anyother way something like this...?
I have read one document(Note:28397.1 in metalink) saying that using uifont.ali file we can change the font at run time, but i have used this only for report
Thanks and Regards

Changing my iCloud name/email address

My icloud name was on an expired e-mail address...
I successfully changed my icloud name to my new e-mail through apple.com (for whatever reason you always have to use an e-mail address as your icloud name).
I also sucessfully changed my apple id on my macbook.
I also sucessfully changed my apple id on my iphones appstore...
But.. i am unable to change my apple id on my iphone in the icloud settings... so mail, contact, calenders, reminders, safari, notes all remain on the wrong apple id.
How can I change that?

To change your iCloud ID on your phone, go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the new ID. This deletes the account and your iCloud data from your device, but not from iCloud. Provided you are signing back into the same account, your iCloud data will reappear on your device when you sign back in.
To avoid losing photo stream photos, save them to your camera roll (if not already there) before deleting the account. To do this, open your my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.

Changing host computer name

When I first set-up my iPad3, the computer [windows] I used was named "eyore1. I recently changed computers [Windows]; the new computer is named "eyore" My ipad will not sync. It seems to be waiting until it's connected to "eyore1". How can I change the setings in the iPad to reflect the new pc computer host name?

Hello.
Using DHCP you may really have problems changing the hostname.
The fact is: The DNS server may assign your machine a host name which has nothing to do with the host name you sent to the DHCP server. Depending on the server (typically DHCP and DNS server are the same machine) nothing will really work. (This is the case with my configuration where the servers are located on a DSL router.)
I solved the problem the following way:
* I created two host names (MyMachine and MyMachineNet) in the /etc/hosts file (Solaris 10 and newer: /etc/inet/ipnodes must be changed, too.)
* "MyMachine" is 127.0.0.1 (localhost):
127.0.0.1 localhost MyMachine
192.168.178.100 MyMachineNet* I assigned the name "MyMachineNet" to the network interface in /etc/hostname.networkcard.
* I use DHCP
The computer name (in /etc/nodename) is "MyMachine". Some programs (e.g. Gnome !) establish a TCP/IP connection to "MyMachine" instead of "localhost" (I do not understand why). These programs are now satisfied because the host name "MyMachine" represents 127.0.0.1 (localhost).
I know that there is a switch that tells Solaris to take the machine name from DHCP/DNS instead of /etc/nodename. Unfortunately I forgot where it is.

Why
Recommendations Appreciated!

If I am understanding correctly, you are looking to discovery a RAC DB on a host on which you deployed an agent. The auto discovery configuration you mention is used to configure the frequency of automatic discovery on a given host after the initial deployment. Normally, you do not need to do anything in this screen.
Immediately after initial installation and successful registration, the agent will search the host automatically for database installations and report its findings to the OMS. These results can be seen in Setup->Add Target->Auto Discovery Results on the Non-Host targets tab. Here you can search by host and you should see a Cluster Database target. To get the target under management, select it and click Promote and follow the wizard.
You can also initiate a discovery of databases on a host by going to Setup->Add Target->Add Targets Manually. Select Add Non-Host targets using Guided process. Select target type in drop down of "oracle database, Listener and Automatic Storeage management". The click Add Using Guided Discovery. Here the agent will immediately scan the host and show the results which you can then complete the target addition process.
If I am misunderstanding you please let me know.

Xcode target names only 'release' and 'debug'

Hi,
We like to create more build targets in our project, at the moment we have the standard 'release' and 'debug'. For a new version we need targets like 'release 4.1' and 'release 5.0' now. I duplicated the target entry, but if I try to build a target with a name different from 'debug' or 'release', I got an error: "file not fount: @executable_path/WidgetBinLib.dylib". If I change the target name to 'release' or 'debug' it works.
Any idea, how we can use the other target names? Any settings we must change?
thanks
Klaus

I think is something wrong with .fr.rsrc/.fr files of duplicated target, Make sure the new target doesn't have an included from source target.

How to change HOST Name without a reinstall in XI 3.1 ?

Is it possible to change the host name in XI 3.1 without reinstall ?

1) Make a full backup of your XI 3.1 system (both database and file repository)
2) Change the hostname
3) Create a new SIA with all defaults servers using the CCM. Make sure that you instruct the CMS to use the same database connection as before. I ould advise you to change the default CMS and SIA ports.
4) Run the "Update objects" command in the CCM on the new SIA
5) Stop the old SIA and change the ports for the new SIA and the CMS to the default values (if required)
6) Remove the old SIA in the CCM
7) Go into to the CMC and try to delete any remaining servers from the old SIA.
Please note that after completing the above workflow you have to reconfigure some of the servers' settings again in the CMC

How to change host name and domain name in installed Cisco Meeting Place Express 2.0?

Hi
I have Cisco Meeting Place Express 2.0 installed on server. Meting Place uses Linux (Red Hat) as base operation system. Please tell me how I can change host name and domain name for Meeting Place Express application to integrate it into corporate domain infrastructure.
Thanks in advance!!!
Sincerely yours
Sergey Bondarenko

Hi
Thanks for your attention for my humble problem.
I have performed Meeting Place Express configuration through the “net” command.
But now unfortunately I can't connect to meeting place through web browser. I just get blank page.
Though I can reach the server with help of ssh. I think my DNS works properly because I can resolve the ip address of cumpxvoice .uclab.com and cumpxweb. uclab.com with help of dig command.
Have you any idea?
A lot of thanks in advance!!
Sincerely yours Sergey Bondarenko
Here I have printed the net configuration output of Cisco meeting Place Express:
[root@cumpxvoice root]# net
This is the MeetingPlace Express network configuration utility.
Up to the point where you save changes, it is safe to hit ^C to get
out at any time, in which case nothing will have changed.
1) List current configuration
2) Configure Ethernet port 1
3) Configure Ethernet port 2
4) Configure service bindings
5) Set host names
6) Set domain name
7) Configure DNS service
8) Configure NTP service

Ok, well you'll need to do something like this. Now this part is a little dependent on your database server:
       try {
            Class.forName("org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver").newInstance();
            Connection c = DriverManager.getConnection(
                                                       "jdbc:mysql://{database-server}/{database-name}:3306?user={username}&password={password}");
            Statement Stmt = c.createStatement();
            int count = Stmt.executeUpdate(cmd);
            if(count>0) {
                 System.out.println("count: " + count);
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
    }That was some sample code for a MySQL database.
Note that the applet can only contact the server that is was loaded from, so you might want to do a getCodeBase() or something like that to get the server address.
Hope this is helpful.

Why does the display name in older messages change if I update my address book for that E-mail address?

I have recently installed Thunderbird 24.5.0 after upgrading a WinXP machine to Win7. I have discovered a strange problem with older mail that was imported from Outlook Express 6.
The pastor of my church uses a generic E-mail address <[email protected]>. This address belongs to the position, not to an individual. We recently had a new pastor come to the church, and I updated my entry for this E-mail address to reflect the new person's name. This is fine for new mail sent since the new person arrived, but Thunderbird has also applied the new name to older mail from the previous pastor. This is very confusing, since the current pastor could not have sent mail from that address prior to her start date.
How can I get Thunderbird to stop changing the Display Name in archival messages that were sent by the previous pastor prior to September 01, 2013? I have not encountered this situation before using Netscape 4.x Mail, Outlook Express 6, and Windows Mail (Vista version).

Of course it does. It looks for a match between the sender's email address and a Contact in your address book. You've edited the Display Name for this account so it gets applied to any message with that email address if that's how your Address Book is configured.
In the Contact card for this address, you can tell it whether or not to use the "real" email address within the message, or the Display Name from your Address Book. Telling it to use the name found in the message ''might'' resolve this, but it depends on how the sender has formatted it. If he includes his name then Thunderbird should be able to resolve it, and you just add both configurations to your Address Book as two separate Contacts, rather than modifying the existing entry.
However, in this situation you're using the same email address for two distinct people, so Thunderbird may not be able to know who sent the old messages. If both have sent using "rector@stpeterscobourg.org" without any personalization then Thunderbird won't be able to differentiate between them.
I have to say that I haven't recently tried using different display names with the same email address, so I don't know for sure if TB can use the display name constructively. If there's nothing in the old messages to tell you which sender wrote them, then TB can't do anything about it.

Changing host name of server running SpiceWorks

I installed SpiceWorks Help Desk for a customer as a test for him to see if it would meet his needs. I installed it onto a server that was due to be commissioned for something else, and has been named accordingly.
In DNS, I created a CNAME of helpdesk which pointed to this server.
My customer has told everyone that the system is live, and they have started using it (by it's CNAME)
So my question is, can I safely rename the host from it's existing name to HELPDESK without any repercussions?
This topic first appeared in the Spiceworks Community

Hello Helmut,
it should be possible to change the host names for tracks. You can get more error message details in the trace file of the Engine. To do so connect to your engine with the J2EE Administration Tool and check the defaultTrace.trc File in the Log Viewer.
For more details how to find this trace information have look into the Change Management Server Problem Analysis Scenarios (Link: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/81/4bce4016d28031e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm). In the first Scenario Incorrect Initial CMS Configuration you can also find the general information how to read and find the CMS trace files.
Please open a CSN message for the component BS-CTS-CMS if can not find the reason for the error message or if it is real problem in CMS.
Best Regards, Michael

How to changing host name

how do i changing host name after install. it never asked me for one and now its stuck on unknown.

Recent forum threads have started like this one,
then got completely out-of-focus and derailed.
e.g.

which references a thread from Aug '06, with 80+ replies inside it ...
http://forum.sun.com/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=105923
Your Ethernet connection and your system hostname are not going to work,
if you don't have a compatible network adapter.
You won't connect to anything, and the OS can't associate its FQDN,
without hardware that works.
Have you reviewed the HCL, and compared it with your hardware?
http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/hcl/
You may need to install 3rd party drivers for the NIC,
or you may need to buy a replacement card that is compatible.
Boot the system. From a terminal window, as root user, do ...
# ifconfig -a <enter>
Does the output from that command list anything in addition to the virtual loopback adapter?
Copy and paste the complete output back here into the forum thread,
so that others can see what you are seeing.
If the loopback LO0 is all you have, then you're going to have to fix that
before going any further in this discussion.

OEM 12c agent - target name for oracle_home incorrect

Add host target after deleting it in OEM 12c

I am running OEM 12.1.0.3. I have deleted a host target on the console and now I want to add it back. If I go to "Add Target" -> "Add Target Manually" -> "Add Host Target", it will prompt for installation of agent on that host. I do not want to go through that process since agent is already installed and running on the host. I also tried "auto discovery result" but the host isn't listed there even though the agent is a managed target in OEM. Is there a easy way to add the host back? Thanks.

Hi Team,
You can follow the below steps to re-add the host target
1. Start the agent by issuing following command:
<AGENT_INSTANCE_HOME>/bin/emctl start agent
2. Issue following command:
<AGENT_INSTANCE_HOME>/bin/emctl config agent addinternaltargets
3. Secure the agent by issuing following command:
<AGENT_INSTANCE_HOME>/bin/emctl secure agent
4. Do the following steps to show the status of host and agent as up:
<AGENT_INSTANCE_HOME>/bin/emctl stop agent
<AGENT_INSTANCE_HOME>/bin/emctl clearstate agent
<AGENT_INSTANCE_HOME>/bin/emctl start agent
Once done, the host and agent status would be shown as up.
5. Do a resync of agent as per below steps
1. Login to 12C console
2. Navigate to Setup --> Manage Cloud Control --> Agents (for 12.1.0.2 OEM)
Navigate to Setup --> Agents (for 12.1.0.1 OEM)
3. Click on the problematic agent
4. Click on drop down menu "Agent" and Choose "Resynchronization" in the menu list.
5. Choose the option to "Unblock agent on successful completion of agent resynchronization." and Click on Continue
6. The resynchronization operation is submitted as a job
7. Check the job's status of the resynchronization operation by clicking on the job name's link.
