Change name-server order

Hi,
I have some local name-servers configured on a router using the ip name-server command.
The router also knows about some external DNS servers that were supplied via DHCP - the WAN interface uses DHCP to obtain its IP address and gets some DNS servers as well.
However these external servers have never actually been used because the configured local servers were always used first.
Unfortunately the router lost contact with the local servers recently and is now using the external servers first, by default - if a lookup fails it then does not try the others. A lot of local lookups are obviously failing for hostnames that are local, that don't have public DNS entries.
So my question is - is there a way of clearing this name-server priority without shutting the WAN interface or reloading the router? I have tried removing the local DNS servers and re-adding them (no ip name-server xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, ip name-server xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx), switching off the lookup service (no ip domain-lookup, ip domain-lookup), clearing the hosts table (clear host *) but the router is still stubbornly using the external DNS servers that it failed over to during the internal outage.
Thanks!

Well - in the end I shut / no shut the outside interface, which forced it to release the DHCP-learned DNS servers:
098312: Jun 5 23:18:34.236 BST: Clearing default gateway and route to x.x.x.x
098313: Jun 5 23:18:34.236 BST: Removing old default route x.x.x.x
098314: Jun 5 23:18:34.240 BST: Clearing route to DHCP server y.y.y.y
098315: Jun 5 23:18:34.240 BST: DHCP: Removing static route to 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 via x.x.x.x
098316: Jun 5 23:18:34.240 BST: Clearing DNS address a.a.a.a
098317: Jun 5 23:18:34.240 BST: Clearing DNS address b.b.b.b

How to change ASE server name in windows

how to change the server name in Adaptive server enterprise running on windows

Windows is going to require a few more steps if ASE is running as a service.
Update all registry entries containing <servername> with <newservername>:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\SYBASE\Server
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SYBSQL_<servername>[ _BS | _XP ]
NOTE: Doing a registry search on <servername> will bring up a ton of other locations, eg, legacy entries, ControlSet00X, etc ... not sure if all of these have to be changed, too ...
NOTE: Haven't installed any of the latest ASE packages in windows so don't know if SAP's gone an changed the HKLM\SOFTWARE sub-branch name from SYBASE to SAP
=========================
In addition to Ryan's notes:
- any other sysservers entries that refer to the old servername (eg, loopback)
- any remote servers would need to update their external/remote logins, remote servers and/or proxy definitions ... as appropriate
- if the ASE is involved in replication then you're looking at whole 'nother can of worms ... off the top of my head ... rs_databases, rs_idnames, rs_repdbs ... and of course any repdefs/subs that include the ASE name ?
- obviously (?) any monitoring/maintenance/operational jobs ... documentation ...

Changing the server name on package connection string.

I have a connection string in a package which is a local connection string and not in project connection manager and isn't parameterize as well. Now I need to change a server name of the connection property without using editor. Can I do that and how ?
Moyz Khan

I agree about using configuration for connection string but unfortunately this is an inherited project/packages . And my task it to make these run as currently I don't have luxury to modified it.
So I was able to change most of the connection string with below update
update[SSISDB].[internal].[execution_parameter_values]
setparameter_value=replace(cast(parameter_valueasvarchar),'OldServer',NEwServer)
update[SSISDB].[internal].[object_parameters]
set[design_default_value]=
replace(
cast([design_default_value]asvarchar(1000)),'OldServer','NEwServer')
Now the only one its complaining is the Project connection string . If I know where to look and update that I might be able to run these packages .

RE: 1) Changing name and IP address of an AIX 4.2 Server 2)Using NAT

Daniel,
you (normaly) just have to :
1) edit the $FORTE_ROOT/fortedef.sh fileand change the value of variable
FORTE_NS_ADDRESS
2) shutdown and restart forte environment
3) put the new values in the control panel of the client and run !
It worked on our site with the same configuration (Aix 4.2)
Good luck

Objet : 1) Changing name and IP address of an AIX 4.2 Server 2)
Using NAT to reach forte
Hello Forte Users :
 I have 2 questions to make:
 1)
 I've installed a Forte Server Central Node (Release 3.0.F.2) in an
IBM RS/6000 with OS AIX 4.2
 (The name of the server is Name_1 and the IP address is
125.125.50.50 with mask 255.255.255.0)
 Nowadays we had to change the name and IP address of this server
lets say to Name_2 and 125.125.60.60 with mask 255.255.255.0.
 After that we try to find any reference to old name and IP address
in the forte directory and all of its subdirectories changing them to
the new ones.
 After these changes we found than forte could'nt start the nodemgr
server.
 We have too many reasons to avoid installing FORTE again.
 Does anybody know if I have to change anything more to make
nodemgr server work.
 2)
 The second question is about NAT (Network Address Translation).
 To reach a Forte Server Central Node from a Forte Client we have
to pass through a Firewall and NAT.
 We are researching and at this moment we can not reach the server
from the client, has anybody any suggestion to correctly configure
Forte (Client and Server) to use NAT between them.
 If anyone could help me I would be very pleased.
 Thank you very much in advance,

Name server not updated in development configuration after change of SLD

Hi Guys
Hope you can help me with this one.
We have moved our SLD from one server to another.
After this we changed the name server in NWDI and in NWDS.
In NWDS i removed the development configuration and reimported it, but when I do this, a popup box shows the details of the development configuration and the name server is still the old SLD server. This means that when I start the NWDS I get an error saying that the name server host is unreachable.
Where do I change this?
I found out that the name server is setup in the .confdef file under .dtc\0 in the field called name-server-url. If I change this manually in the file, it works. But if I remove the development configuration and reimport it again, I am taken back to the old name server again.
It seems as if something has to be changed in NWDI, but I can't figure out what.
Can anybody help?
Cheers,
Jacob Vennervald

Hi Jacob,
I would proceed as follows: 
- login to your new SLD 
- go to the technical systems in the landscape area of the SLD 
- in the filter drop down select AS JAVA 
- check if your NWDI has reported to this SLD in the last 12 or 24 hours, you can check this on the "last update" column 
- if your system has reported to this sld the last few hours this is good if not go to the step "change J2ee to new sld" i will descirbe later. 
- remember the name of the system here. it is like sid on dbhostname. 
- got to sld administration (link on top) choose content maintenace in administration 
- in the subset filter select "All with instances" as class set SAP AS JAVA Cluster 
- you should find your system there. click on it. 
- in the new screen find a link in the middle top <nr> associated instances -> click it 
- in the next screen you will see the relationship of the technical system to the rest of the sld data. 
- there should be a topic called "hosted application server" 
- the should be an entry like: system landscape directory: sld on sid on server -> click it 
- here you will see the data for this hosted system. You can find the cim/url definig the SLD you will find the roles. Landscape and name server should assigend and so on here you can chage the SLD url. 
You can although proceed as follows. This as well requieres you nwdi to report and use this sld in j2ee see below if not. 
- on sld startscreen choose landscapes in the landscapes part of sld 
- select landscape type nwdi systems 
- if there is no landscape you can create one 
- in the landscape ypu can assinge systems. The sld should be availabel to choose. 
- once in the landscape you can view the system and you can change the CIM Server url and the roles there aswell its just another view on the content. 
 
you can although check: 
- open name reservation from develpoment part of start screen 
- here you should find a button about enabling or disabling the sld for nwdi usege. this should be of course enabled... 
 
"change J2ee to new sld" Ok and here what to do or to check if you are not sure if your NWDI uses/reports to the new sld. 
- Go to the nwdi server an open Visual admin i asume you are running a 7.0 Di if not let me knoe i can although tell you for CE. 
- ok in VA. select on of your server nodes->services->SLD data supplier. 
- an overview page will show up. 
- select the http settings tab in the lower middle. 
- https settings will tell the j2ee where to report to. Verify the data and change if needed. use the lightinigbolt button on top to transfer data to the sld. have a little patiance if your data is not shown immediately in your sld,. it may take 1-2 minutes until it is shown in the gui. 
- switch to cim client generation tab. those paraemters will tell your j2ee from what sld to read data from. It is important to understand that you may report to one sld but to read from antioher. depending on your sld landscape. The CIm CLient should use the same Sld as your NWDI uses in CMS setting. 
- if all is setup. do a cim client test. 
 
Allright. This is all I know on how the NWDI is integrated in SLD. Hope you can resolve your problem wiht this steps.
 
Have a good time 
Jan

Server change name and need to know where to change the configuration

Hi all,
Want to check that if the web application and the database server has change the server name what we need to change in the BO app and also data intergrator edge xi3.1. Hope someone can assist me on this so that i won't need to re-install BO edge with data intergrator again. I cannot find any information anywhere that would inform me where to change. I really need it urgently.
Regards,

This is something that has plagued BusinessObjects Edge/Enterprise admins for a while--you can't change the server name for BusinessObjects XI 3.1 once it has been installed. There were some forum posts going around, with people trying with limited success but given the range of products and technologies in BusinessObjects (CR, Webi, Voyager, Xcelsius, QaaWS, Explorer, etc.) the server name is embedded in too many places to be able to successfully change the name. Your best bet would be to install BOE on a new server with the correct name then use the Import Wizard to swing the content over.
On the Data Integrator front, you could probably rename the server and then delete and recreate your DI Job Server-- most of the meta data for DI is stored in the local repository database, so you may have a shot. I would definitely test this theory out on a development machine before trying it in a production environment!!

How do I properly change the server name in mountain lion server?

I need to change my server name to a FQDN, but tried this with Lion server in the past without success. I know in lion you'd use server app, but that's no longer avaiable in mountain lion server and I want to make sure I get this right the first time.
Thanks!

I was able to get everything working with some assistance from Apple's enterprise support. After changing the host name, the DNS was still not resolving properly and I couldn't turn on open directory so that I'd be able to start profile manager. The DNS interface is considerably different than that in previous versions of server. The network was set to manual ip with dhcp, which was pulling back an external IP. Overriding the DNS info coming in via the dhcp, setting it to localhost, resolved the issue.
Thanks!

To change the hostname, edit /etc/nodename
To ensure that the hostname doesn't get overwritten by your DHCP config, edit /etc/default/dhcpagent and remove the value 12 from PARAM_REQUEST_LIST..

Change sql server 2014 server name

Hi
This works on sql 2008 r2, but not on sql server 2014
sp_dropserver 'old_server'
Msg 15015, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_dropserver, Line 42
The server 'old_server' does not exist. Use sp_helpserver to show available servers.
sp_addserver 'new_server',local
Msg 15028, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_addserver, Line 74
The server 'new_server' already exists.

You mean you are changing server name(Host name) ? But this is only to change SQL instance name not server name.
Please paste output:
Select @@ServerName ServerName, Host_name() HostName

Changing database server on a report with subreports = formula error

Good morning,
I currently have several reports that print out, and were developed attached to our development database. However, I need to be able to dynamically change the server that the report uses according to the server configured in our application. Each of these reports contains one or more subreports, which point to the same server and database as the main report. All reports, both the main and subreports, are based on manual SQL commands.
I'm running into some significant issues. So significant, in fact, that we were forced to deploy our application with reports that had been switched to our production environment in the designer in order to get them functional. This is, obviously, not an acceptable or long-term solution.
I've gone round and round a couple of times I get different results with different methods of changing this information. I'll outline them below. First, my current code:
ConnectionInfo connectionInfo = new ConnectionInfo();
                TableLogOnInfo logOnInfo = new TableLogOnInfo();
                Console.WriteLine("Report \"{0}\"", report.Name);
                foreach (Table table in report.Database.Tables)
                    logOnInfo = table.LogOnInfo;
                    connectionInfo = new ConnectionInfo(logOnInfo.ConnectionInfo);
                    connectionInfo.ServerName = "panthers-dev";
                    connectionInfo.DatabaseName = "Prosys";
                    logOnInfo.ConnectionInfo = connectionInfo;
                    //table.Location = "Prosys.dbo." + table.Location.Substring(table.Location.LastIndexOf(".") + 1);
                    table.ApplyLogOnInfo(logOnInfo);
                    table.LogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo = connectionInfo;
                    Console.WriteLine("\t\"{0}\": \"{1}\", \"{2}\", \"{3}\", {4}", table.Name, table.LogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo.ServerName, table.LogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo.DatabaseName, table.Location, table.TestConnectivity());
                foreach (Section section in report.ReportDefinition.Sections)
                    foreach (ReportObject ro in section.ReportObjects)
                        if (ro.Kind == ReportObjectKind.SubreportObject)
                            SubreportObject sro = (SubreportObject)ro;
                            ReportDocument subreport = report.OpenSubreport(sro.SubreportName);
                            Console.WriteLine("\tSubreport \"{0}\"", subreport.Name);
                            foreach (Table table in subreport.Database.Tables)
                                logOnInfo = table.LogOnInfo;
                                connectionInfo = new ConnectionInfo(logOnInfo.ConnectionInfo);
                                connectionInfo.ServerName = "panthers-dev";
                                connectionInfo.DatabaseName = "Prosys";
                                logOnInfo.ConnectionInfo = connectionInfo;
                                //table.Location = "Prosys.dbo." + table.Location.Substring(table.Location.LastIndexOf(".") + 1);
                                table.ApplyLogOnInfo(logOnInfo);
                                table.LogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo = connectionInfo;
                                Console.WriteLine("\t\t\"{0}\": \"{1}\", \"{2}\", \"{3}\", {4}", table.Name, table.LogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo.ServerName, table.LogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo.DatabaseName, table.Location, table.TestConnectivity());
Using this approach, my console output prints what I expect and want to see: the correct server and database information, and True for TestConnectivity for all reports and subreports. The two reports I have that have no subreports print out correctly, with data from the proper server. However, all of the reports with subreports fail with formula errors. If this procedure is not run, they work just fine on either server.
I had to place the assignment of table.LogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo = connectionInfo after the call to ApplyLogOnInfo, as that function did not behave as expected. If I perform the assignment first (or not at all), then calling ApplyLogOnInfo on the outer report's table did NOT affect the values of its ConnectionInfo object, but it DID affect the values of the ConnectionInfo object's of its subreports!
In any event, if anyone could post a code sample of changing database connection information on a report containing subreports, I would appreciate it.
Any help is greatly appreciated and anxiously awaited!

Hi Adam,
Code for changing database connection information on a report containing subreports :
private ReportDocument northwindCustomersReport;
    private void ConfigureCrystalReports()
        northwindCustomersReport = new ReportDocument();
        string reportPath = Server.MapPath("NorthwindCustomers.rpt");
        northwindCustomersReport.Load(reportPath);
        ConnectionInfo connectionInfo = new ConnectionInfo();
        connectionInfo.ServerName = "localhost";
        connectionInfo.DatabaseName = "Northwind";
        connectionInfo.IntegratedSecurity = false;
        SetDBLogonForReport(connectionInfo, northwindCustomersReport);
        SetDBLogonForSubreports(connectionInfo, northwindCustomersReport);
        crystalReportViewer.ReportSource = northwindCustomersReport;
    private void Page_Init(object sender, EventArgs e)
        ConfigureCrystalReports();
    private void SetDBLogonForReport(ConnectionInfo connectionInfo, ReportDocument reportDocument)
        Tables tables = reportDocument.Database.Tables;
        foreach (CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Table table in tables)
            TableLogOnInfo tableLogonInfo = table.LogOnInfo;
            tableLogonInfo.ConnectionInfo = connectionInfo;
            table.ApplyLogOnInfo(tableLogonInfo);
    private void SetDBLogonForSubreports(ConnectionInfo connectionInfo, ReportDocument reportDocument)
        Sections sections = reportDocument.ReportDefinition.Sections;
        foreach (Section section in sections)
            ReportObjects reportObjects = section.ReportObjects;
            foreach (ReportObject reportObject in reportObjects)
                if (reportObject.Kind == ReportObjectKind.SubreportObject)
                    SubreportObject subreportObject = (SubreportObject)reportObject;
                    ReportDocument subReportDocument = subreportObject.OpenSubreport(subreportObject.SubreportName);
                    SetDBLogonForReport(connectionInfo, subReportDocument);
Hope this helps!!

Name-server importing wrong url?

Dear experts,
I am trying to import a track from NWDI so I can add development components to a software component in the track. The problem I am having is:
I keep getting this error " Syntax of 'nibco.com/nbdc/nibcotst' is not valid : Invalid name: appropriate prefix not found; choose another name or another name server". We haven't had this problem in the past...When I go to CMS->Landscape Configurator and click on display development configuration button I get this configuration:
The url for name-server-url property is correct: http://xxxxxxxx:xxxxx/sld/cimom
But when I import to NWDS the url get's changed:
One NWDS:
Another NWDS:
For some reason it is changing the naming server url on import to http://xxxxxx:xxxxx/sld/name and http://xxxxxxxx:xxxxx/sld. Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Bradley Sorensen

Hi Bradley,
I did not fully read this conversation, but this is how it works in general.
1. Name server is changed in SLD.
2. Track "in CMS' webui -- Landscape Configurator" has to be re-saved in order to have the change reflected there (this is what you have done so far)
3. NWDS development config has to be re-imported on client side. Otherwise it'll consider the old configuration, since after the first sync it creates a local file called ".confdef" and works from that one.
So as a hint: if you have no open activities in your devconfig, you can even delete it from your NWDS and import it again that makes sure it uses the updated devconfig .
There is also an "Update Development Configuration" option in the context menu of the Development Config in your NWDS, but if that would not work give it a try re-importing the development config eventually in a new NWDS workspace.
I hope this helps.
Cheers,
Ervin

MBAM 2.0 SP1 Self help website error after changing name of website on IIS and web config

guys
i need your help here , i have fully operational 3 tier enviroment with config manager ,when i created this enviroment i only used the fully qualified domain name of the web server and now i need to change the name in order to comply with company website
names.
now i have went to ISS and changed the name on the bindings and changed also the web config file and this resolved the helpdesk website as it can now talk to backend and retrieve the key .
my only issue now is the self service website , i changed the web config for it as we and when i try to retrieve the key it says an unknown error has occured please contact IT , am not sure where else to check , please help

If I would be in your place, i would rather have created an alias for the existing FQDN with that of the newer one into the on-premises DNS Server.
Create a Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) in DNS that users and group policy settings will use to connect to the MBAM server. For example:
http://bitlocker.contoso.com.
Open DNS manager.
Expand DCServer_Name>>Forward lookup Zone>>Domain_Name.
Right Click on domain name and choose New Alias (CName).
Provide the alias name(bitlocker.contoso.com) and the FQDN for the target host.
Is the web site for User Support service is accessible?
