Hostname change: Failed to contact DSCC registry

Question

Dear all,
we have installed ODSEE 11.1.1.5 under Solaris x86 10 08/11 successfully
ie were able to log into DSCC as Directory Service Manager.
After changing the system's hostname from OLD to NEW we can't now use
the DSCC again because there is this message after putting in the directory service
password:
Failed to contact DSCC regisrty. Make sure that the DSCC registry is online and
listening on ldap://*OLD*:3998
How can we arrange it that the registry is listening now to ..//_NEW_:3998?
Should we use 'dsccsetup dismantle/initialize?
Many thanks in advance for any hint!
Rainer

Answer 1

1) "dsconf export -p 3998 -c cn=dscc /your_DSEE_INSTALL_PATH/var/dcc/ads/ldif/export.ldif" or something like that will do the job. You can also use "dsadm export" with a slightly different syntax. The main difference is that dsconf works offline I believe, so you need to stop the DSCC registry before.
2) Edit the LDIF export and remove the unwanted entries. Since you'll have to dismantle/reinitialize the DSCC registry, there's no need to keep the DSCC registry up. Moreover, you can safely stop it without any impact on your existing DS servers. The DSCC is just required for some dsadm/dpadm/dsconf/dpconf/dsccsetup commands and the GUI, but it's not a requirement at all to run your DS instances.
