Change Instance Name

Is it possible to change the name of an Middle-Tier Instance and/or the Infrastructure Instance after installation of 10gAS 904?
Bob

You have changed hostname(servername) you can follow below:
you have to rename SQL server hostname:
sp_dropserver <old_name\instancename>;
GO
sp_addserver <new_name\instancename>, local;
GO
Restart the SQL Server services.

You cant change installed instance name of SQL, so SQL instance will be CON.
Understand you may have CON as database but your instance name is also CON. Thats why you are seeing MSSQL$CON.
CON was select as instance name when performing SQL installation.
There is no command to rename an instance. You will need to install a new instance with name REX side by side, move the databases by whichever method you'd like (backup & restore would be fine) and drop the previous instance or have 2 instance running.

Changing Instance Name - spfile

Hello guys,
i've got a little question about changing instance names and values.
For example i got the following spfile (only example values):
*.db_name=DB1
DA1.shared_pool=9000000
DA2.shared_pool=8000000
and so on...
So the db_name DB1 is valid for all instance identifiers.
But how can i specify manually with which instance name the oracle db server should start? (for exampe DA1 and DA2)
The standard spfile name can also not be used, because of oracle searches normally for $ORACLE_HOME/dbs/spfileSID.ora file?
And which value is preferred, if i have a value for all instances (*.shared_pool) and a value for the specfied instance (DA1.shared_pool)... which parameter is valid if both are specified in the spfile?
Thanks and regards
Stefan

hi,
Every Instance having there own spfile<sid>.ora.hmm that sounds very strange to me. Because of the option with the identifier in front of the parameter (*= for every instance, DA1 = only for instance with name DA1).
I read about the advantage only having one spfile for more instances (for exampe RAC).
So maybe there is a possibility, to start an instance with the specified name (in my example DA1 or DA2).
I don't want to change the DB name... only the instance name so that i can easily start the same db with different parameters (=different instance name)..
Thanks
Stefan

Changing instance names

Hello everyone i have a bit of a problem here
I am writing a program that will allow a user to create and design their own computer network. Now the problem i am having is that i want them to be able to add networking components(routers, switches, etc) to a JPanel. These are just labels at the moment with setIcon set to whatever is needed. Anyway i can get them to add say anumber of router icos but i want for every icon that is added a new instance to be created for that icon to differentiate it from the others. I know it sounds a bit mad and maybe i am going about this the whole wrong way any input would be greatly appreciated
ronmon

sorry about the vagueness of my post. What i want to do is create a component
JLabel label1 = new JLabel();
add this to a JPanel
addcomponent(label1,30,30,50,50);
this i can do but the user is going to be able to add new labels to the JPanel by pressing a button. But i need each label to be referred to by a different instance name
i.e.
1st label would be named label1
2nd label would be named label2
3rd label would be named label3
the important thing is that this is all done at runtime. Is there anyway to do this if you have some code that would be brilliant
Thanks again for your help

Button using changing Instance Names

I have multiple button using the same button from my library.
I have given the all instance name and if I put that instance name
in from of my addEventListener the button works fine. However, I
have a lot of buttons on the stage so I want to be able to write
some thing the will get the instance name on roll over and place
that in front of the event listener. I am trying to avoid writing a
line of code for each button. Can this be done?

you should start here:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/
go to packages->statements, keywords, & directives
you can't just ask what a for loop is. it shows you haven't
done any investigation at all as that is a very basic programming
construct. you need to learn some basics before you ask people what
to do. if you have trouble with a particular topic or getting
something to work, that's what this is for, but it's not to teach
you the language. there's way too much to learn and too many people
asking. get a good actionscript book and it will take you through
the basics.
i recommend:
O'reilly Essential Actionscript 3
good luck

Need to change the name of a GP process instance at runtime.

Is there a way to change the name of a GP process instance at runtime? I would like to change the name of the process instance to include the employee's name who initiated the process. This way when the process owner or overseer displays thier list of processes from the GP Runtime Work Center, they can tell who initiated each process.
Does anyone know how to do this?

Hi Karen,
If the users are invoking the Process from Web Dynpro or some other application using GP API, then you can try the followigI.
You can try using the startProcess() method of the IGPRuntimeManager object. It has multiple paramaters of which two(second and third) are for the userProvidedName and userProvidedDescription. You can set any name and description while invoking the GP process and the name and description should appear in the Runtime for the owners/overseers/administrators in hte list of process instances. You can add the name of the Employee while setting that name and description.

Change the name of the Instance

Can someone give me teh steps as to how to change the name of the instance.
please note that i dont want to create the cloned database here!

If you are clear about the Instance name and DB name then it shouldnt be a very big issue...
I think you can just change the Init.ora plus a Service name if it is in windows

Can we change the Oracle instance name after confoguration.

Hi,
Has anyone tried changing the Instance name in Oracle after all the EPM components are configured.
I mean, after the system is up and running. Do I have to re-configure everything with new instance name?
If yes, what happens to data that was already there in the schemas?
Thanks in advance,
PM

Try the following
"On the machine hosting Shared Services, launch EPM System Configurator with the enableRegTask option: Make EPM_ORACLE_HOME/common/config/version_number the current directory and then launch configtool.bat|.sh -enableRegTask."
Cheers

Change DB name/ instance name during an UPGRADE ?

Is it possible to change the database name and the instance name during an UPGRADE (from 9i to 10g for instance) ? If is possible, how ?
Thanks,
D.

Two Options:
1. Change the name in 9i, then Upgrade to 10g
2. Upgrade to 10g, then change the name in 10g
There is no automatic way to do it during upgrade.

How to change DB & Instance name on RAC

Hi Experts,
Can anyone tell me how can i change my database name along with the two instances running on the RAC server?
Any ideas......
Regards,
MB

You can rename database by creating control file as well , like we use to do in single instance database.
1) Shutdown node 2
2) Run following command on node 1
alter database backup control file to trace ;
3) shutdown database on node 1
4) copy trace file created in step 2 to file crctl.sql (say) . Edit crctl.sql and set database name what u want to set.
5) edit init<sid>.ora and change database name
6) startup nomount and run crctl.sql
7) Startup database in both node
8) Change tnsnames.ora and listener.ora ( if needed)
9) config srvctl
srvctl remove database -d <old_database_name>
srvctl add database -d <new_db_name> -o $ORACLE_HOME
srvctl add instance -d <new_db_name> -i <instance name on node 1> -n Node1
srvctl add instance -d <new_db_name> -i <instance name on node 2> -n Node2
