Change CMS Name in BO 4.0

Hello,
We are running with SAP Business Objects 4.0 SP04 Patch 09 in Production enviroment. We are having 3 cluster nodes as per below configuration:
1. server1.domain.local
2. server2.domain.local
3. server3.domain.local
Environment:
SAP BO : 4.0 SP04 Patch 09
OS : Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise
DB : MS SQL 2008
Name of Cluster is server1.domain.local, and on this node only CMS services are running, rest all the SIA services are running on server2 and server3.
We have DB hosted on server1 node, now we need to remove the SAP BO services from server1 and, make server2 as cluster name. So that we will have SAP BO services running on only 2 node i.e. on server2 and server3 and only Database will reside on server1.
I have gone through with the SAP Note 1219823 - How to change the cluster name of a Central Management Server on Windows, but this is for old release.
Can you please help to provide few pointers, or steps for this.
Many Thanks,
Kshitiz

Hello Denis,
Many Thanks for your reply.
I'll follow the steps for changing the Cluster key.
As per below thread, do we need to change anything in BO Web applications also ?
how to change CMS name
As I understand correctly, I'll remove SAP BO services (un-install) from server1.domain.local, and then point the server2 and server3 CMS Cluster Key to Server2 only.
Regards,
Kshitiz

Change Server Name CMS

Post Author: Magaly
CA Forum: Administration
Hello everyone, I've been back and forth with this case, so If anyone can help me, I'll be thankful
I would like to change the server name on my test BO XI server, I think it could be on the CMS, but there a lot of services with the old name, so Do I have to change the name on every server on CMM? not only on Central Management Server?
And if I want to point to the test server, the only thing I have to do is log on in the application with the name of the test server (system)?
About the CMS database , is recommended that test server and production server point to the same database?, Could be any problem with that?
Thank you

How to change host name or host ip in AIA after installation

Hi,
we have AIA11.1.1.5.0 and O2C PIP installed.
we need to change host name used in AIA to some different value.
Could you please suggest what all steps are required for this.
Thanks & Regards,
Bob

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

BOE-XI (R2) - Rename CMS name in Login Screen for CLUSTER

BOE-XI (R2)
Cluster with Two (2) physical servers side-by-side hosting all BOE services.
Both Tomcat and IIS installed on both physical servers.
We don't want the end-users of InfoView to see/know the underlying server names (eg. BOE_SERVER_1 and BOE_SERVER_2 ) in the URL for the CMC / InfoView - or in the CMS Name on the login screens for those applications.
I assume that we can use some kind of DNS service in front of the website to mask that, but I don't know how we can "rename" it in the CMS name in Login Screen.
What we want is to use a name like BOE_PROD for the URL path - and for the CMS Name on the login screens for CMC / InfoView
Anyone done this before...? Any documentation you can point me to...?
Thanks in advance!

Here is one of my best findings on the matter.
DNS ---
The DNS bit is not documented but here is how I achieve this. The cluster configuration should be documented in the deployment or admin guide.
For XIr2 to run with DNS, you need to add -port to the CMS, IFRS, OFRS and RAS (if you use crystal) - check the SAP notes to see because there are differeences between the CMS and other services for this. You will use the DNS name in this parameter instead of the hostname.
From what you explained, you will need at least two DNS's
In -port, use the dns name for the CMS (the DNS MUST match the IP address of the server where the CMS run if you want it to work)
In EVERY services, you will need to change the -ns parameter to match the DNS name other registration will fail.
Client tools will have to use the DNS or clustername.
From my tests, DONT change -name. If you manage to do so, feel free to tell us more about it.
--- Cluster name ---
For that bit, I'll give the quick information, but the reference is the documentation.
What follows is for tomcat. However, as stated above, the documentation explains pretty well how to achieve this for IIS too and you just need to replace hostname by fqdn in every bit that tells you how to configure this.
For the name visible on the logon page on InfoView, it is in the web.xml Note: you can set the default name to the cluster name and even hide the CMS name if you want. (tomcat/webapps/businessobjects/enterprise115/desktoplaunch/web-inf/web.xml)
The default value for the cms should be there, and a specific part is commented for the cluster names. If you want to use the clustername as the default value, you'll need to uncomment the part for it and fill in the required information (ClusterName and CMS DNS names) and then change the default value. This is required because Tomcat doesnt know how to resolve the clustername otherwise.
Same thing goes for the CMC: (tomcat/webapps/businessobjects/enterprise115/adminlaunch/web-inf/web.xml)
Restart Tomcat and BO and you have a fully DNS compliant BO server with a cluster name based on the DNS.
Let us know how it goes.
Cheers,

Change file name with oreilly servlet

I am using oreilly servlet package and I want to change the file name to the file I am uploading, is this possible ?
How ?
Thanks.
here I post the servlet code:
package com.reducativa.sitio.servlets;
* DemoParserUploadServlet.java
* Example servlet to handle file uploads using MultipartParser for
* decoding the incoming multipart/form-data stream
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;

public class DemoParserUploadServlet extends HttpServlet {
public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
throws ServletException, IOException {
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
response.setContentType("text/plain");
out.println("Demo Parser Upload Servlet");
File dir = new File("f:/");
if (! dir.isDirectory()) {
throw new ServletException("Supplied uploadDir " + "f:/ " +
" is invalid");
try {
MultipartParser mp = new MultipartParser(request, 10*1024*1024); // 10MB
Part part;
while ((part = mp.readNextPart()) != null) {
String name = part.getName();
if (part.isParam()) {
// it's a parameter part
ParamPart paramPart = (ParamPart) part;
String value = paramPart.getStringValue();
out.println("param; name=" + name + ", value=" + value);
else if (part.isFile()) {
// it's a file part
FilePart filePart = (FilePart) part;
String fileName = filePart.getFileName();
if (fileName != null) {
// the part actually contained a file
long size = filePart.writeTo(dir);
out.println("file; name=" + name + "; filename=" + fileName +

Hi there,
I am facing the same problem that you have stated in your Feb 26, 2002 10:28 AM message regarding "change file name with oreilly servlet", I would like to change the file name to include a unique identifier upon upload, did you ever find a solution to your problem?

How can i delete my music from itunes it dont let me also how to change the name of the ipod shuffle it dont let me

i need help please help me on itunes i try to change my name for the ipod shuffle and it dont let me it dont do anything also when i try to delete the music on it it dont show me if i want to delete or not the font is just gray and dont show any opitions also when i go on my iphone it lets me do all the stuff that it dont let me do i connect my iphone and it lets me delete music and change the name but the shuffle doesnt

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.

I tried to change the name of my device and now I cant sync anything and it says there is a problem with the disk and when I changed the name back it still said the same thing so I restored my ipod (not from itunes but on the ipod itsself)

And now its saying my ipod is corrupt. None of my stuff was erased from itunes it was only erased from my ipod so why am I not able to just sync everything back onto my ipod? why is it doing this now? I think this is ridiculous that just changing one name would do this much damage.

There is a backup plan after doing the Restore. Read this.

I changed the name of my imac to reflect it's new location, but inadvertently, it unchecked the box to allow the administrative user account to administer the machine. I am trying to reinstall with a time machine backup and am unable

I need a little help. I changed the name of my imac to reflect it's new location, but inadvertently, when I saved the change, the system unchecked the "allow this account to administer the computer" so now I can't make any changes.... I tried to reinstall the OS, but it wants me to go online while installing and use my apple id, but this is not my iMAC, so I don't want to use my account. Also, I am working in a building that will not allow me network access until I authenticate, which can't be done unless I open the browser first. So I'm stuck at this point. I can't even restore a time machine backup that I have because it gives the error message that the system encountered an error. Any suggestions?

Changing Step Name in XML Report programmaticaly

I am trying to change the step name programmaticaly in TestStand to reflect in the XML report. The step is executed several times in a loop, and every time the loop runs I want the step to be named differently in the XML report. For example, the names will be something like this < Test1: Signal Name 1>, <Test2: Signal Name 2> ....etc. Any help on this will be appreciated .
Thanks,
Sam

Hi,
The best time to change the name is before you perform the test, then it will get inserted in the ResultList and hence into your report.
I have attached one way of doing this. You can also perform it after the Step you wish to change, in which case you would use the RunState.PreviousStep as a reference.
You could call the API method as part of your code.
Remeber, if you use a PropertyLoader to load Limits, and you have placed this inside the loop, then your Limits file for the Step Name must match the new step name not the old one that you see statically.
This is a TS3.5 example.
Hope this helps

How do I change the name I have called my MacBook Air so I can add 11" and 13" into the title of whose computer this is for more clarity when I set up Time Machine and save to it with both computers? Both are named with "my name and MacBook Air"

I'm still learning the whole Mac thing but these are great machines! I purchased a MacBook Air 13" and then thought I should also get a MacBook Air 11" for travel. When I set it up at the Apple store I told the assistant the exact same name for each machine, i.e., "my name and MacBook Air." What I want to do is go back in and rename both of them adding the 11" and 13" designation to the name so that when I set up Time Machine or whatever else I know exactly which machine is what. I'm sure it is very simple but I cannot seem to figure it out. Help please. Thanks.

Go to System Preferences - Sharing and change the computer name there. You can also, optionally, change the name of your hard drive to further clarify the origin of your backups. Click once on the "Macintosh HD" on your desktop, then click its name to allow you to edit it.

I gave my wife a new Ipad 2 she gave me hers old one How do I change her name to mine and get access to my emails

I gave my wife an ipad 2 she gave me her old ipad how do I change her detail to me and access my email account on her Ipad
This will be I guess the first of many questions
Thanks

You really should download and read the user guide that roaminggnome gave you the link for in the post above.
If you want to totally start from scratch and erase all of her content go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content and Settings. This removes everything from the device and returns it to out of the box status. You can also restore the iPad as a new device in iTunes and that erases everything as well. This article explains that process.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414
If you want to rename the iPad, connect the iPad to your computer and launch iTunes. Double click on the text of the iPad's name on the left grey source list of iTunes and you can change the name of the iPad. When you are finished typing in the new name, hit the return key on your keyboard. This article explains it for you.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3965
You will want to delete her mail accounts on the iPad if you have not done so already and set up your own mail accounts. This article will tell you how to do that.

Yes. Select one or more tracks (use ctrl or shift clicks to add/remove or extend a selection) then right-click or press CTRL-I to Get Info. Use the different tabs of the dialog to make changes.

How can I change the name of my home directory?

When I first set up my Macbook Pro a year ago, I put my first and last name. I didn't like this and later changed the login name to just my first name, but the "home" directory is still listed as my full name on the side panel in Finder windows. How can I change this, it won't let me rename that.

You should have experienced that same effect when you managed to change you login name. How did you change your login name?
I imagine that has something to do with why everything 'disappeared' when you changed the directory name.
It's actually pretty simple to change the login name, and it doesn't affect files at all.
All I did was change the field labeled "user name".
