How to change the hostname was set/defined in SAP system?

Dear Expert,
My customer met a problem about that:
he defined his host name with small characters(lower case) "abc" when he installed the SAP system (Windows2003(x64)-Solman70SR4).
But in SM21, the title of sm21, the hostname was recognize as upper case "ABC".
in SM51, the hostname was also recognized as upper case "ABC"
in STMS, the tab of 'transport tool', it is recognized as lower case "abc" in TRANSDIR.
in SM59, it is recognized as upper case "ABC" in internal connections, but recognized as lower case "abc" in ABAP connections, such as TMSADM@<DB>.DOMAIN.<sid>
While in Java URL, it is recognized as lower case "abc". With my test, the Java URL is not case sensitive for the HOSTNAME part in HTTP link as I tested to change the hostname both in upper case and lower case in etc\hostname file, the URL both are working. (not sure if this is due to the test is with intranet or not).
Based on SAP note 611361, it seems that:
"Hostnames must be considered "case sensitive". That means
hostnames shall be used in the same case (upper or lower) in all
SAP configurations as well as in the network configuration (DNS
or etc/hosts). You must ensure consistent name resolving of the
hostname from hostname to IP address and back from the IP address
to the the same hostname (case sensitive match). See also note
129997."
Please help to suggest.
Many thanks in advance,
Perry Song

Section  4.13 "Checking the Consistency of the Host Name" in [This Upgrade Guide|https://websmp208.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700000353422008E]  has a good explaination of what & how to check your hostname / parameter configuration.
on a windows box, another way to get the TCP/IP name is to type  'hostname' from a CMD window.

    Hello Dharani
    All required function modules can be found in function group SLVC (assuming that you are using OO-based ALV or, at least, fm REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY_LVC):
    LVC_VARIANT_DEFAULT_GET (Read default display variant (description only, w/o field catalog))
    LVC_VARIANT_EXISTENCE_CHECK
    LVC_VARIANT_F4 (Display variant selection dialog box)
    LVC_VARIANT_SELECT (Read a display variant)
    For a sample report using LVC_VARIANT_DEFAULT_GET have a look at BCALV_GRID_10.

  • How to change the lenth of existing field in sap standard table

    Hi all,
    can anybody help,my requirement is, how to change the length of existing field in sap standard table....
    thanks in advance..

    Which field are you thinking of in particular?  Are you wanting to increase or decrease the length?
    Some fields are used so extensively that a change to their length will mean adjusting many tables, some of them potentially very large, and hence taking a long time to adjust.
    Some standard SAP programs expect certain fields to be of specific lengths and won't work if the length is changed.
    Some screens could cease to work.
    If you decrease length, then you could lose data.

  • How to change the database character set on physical standby database?

    Hi,
    We have a database with character set WE8ISO8859P1 and migrated the character set to WE8MSWIN1252 using csscan/csalter scripts. This database has a physical standby database setup also and after the migration, the physical standby database is still showing the character set as WE8ISO8859P1. How can I change the characterset on the physical standby? I raised a Service Request with Oracle, and they said that recreating the standby database is the only supported way of changing the char set on the standby database. Is this true?
    Thanks,
    Sreekanth

    Thank you, Robert, for your reply.
    The standby is in sync with the primary.
    see below
    SYS@sisprod>select * from v$dataguard_stats;

  • How to change the database character set?

    Hi,
    We have installed jboss turkey with MySQL and we want to prepopulate name fields like with data from the database in multilingual enviroments i.e. greek,english and russian e.t.c.Where and how can we change that?

    I'm not sure, but in other environments, you have to change your JDBC settings.
    So, this must be in (imho)  C:\Adobe\LiveCycle8\jboss\server\all\deploy\adobe-ds.xml
              IDP_DS
              jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/adobe
              com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
              adobe
              INSTALLER
              1
              100
              20000
              10
              50
              TRANSACTION_READ_COMMITTED
    I would change the
    jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/adobe
    to
    jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/adobe?charSET=YOURCHARSETHERE
    That's the way I do it in other jdbc connections, so I think this will work here too ...

  • How to change the password of ddic in 000,sap* user is disabled

    Hi
    SAP* user is disabled in 000 client in my production server,I can't enable it as it will require outage which is not possible now
    I want to use ddic user to login in 000 but I forgot the password,is there any query to change the password for ddic user.My database is SQL server 2005
    Rohit

    Hi,
    Better to activate SAP* user instead of trying for the DDIC user .
    Either use the Query Delete from usr02.sapr3 where bname = 'SAP*' and mandt = '000'  or delete the
    user SAP* from USR02 table where mandt value is 000 through SQL Visual Studio .
    Check  the  value  login/no_automatic_user_sapstar in RZ11 , if it is zero , no need to restart the instance .
    Otherwise change it  to 0 , restart the instance.
    Now you will be able to login with the password pass.

  • How to transport the CO and DATA file to SAP system

    Hello Experts ,
                          I want to know the procedure to import a transport request into an isolated SAP system ( which is not in the transport route ) using the CO and DATA files .
    I know that user should have adminstrator role to do this but i dont know how to do this .
    Regards
    Vivek

    Simply copy the source cofile and datafile from the source system to the target system and then import.
    Data file is located at /usr/sap/trans/<sid>/data with format R<transport_number>.<sid> and cofile is located at /usr/sap/trans/<sid>/cofile with format K<transport_number>.<sid>
    Copy them to the same location on the target system and then go to STMS -> Extras -> Add -> insert the name of the transport in format <sid>K<transport_number>, this will add the transport to the import queue then just simply import the transport.
    Regards

  • HT5467 How to change the location service set up when the icon is not inactive?

    I can not setting up the location services and change individual location service for each application since the icon are all in the dead icon and I cannot change anything. Is there anyway to make those icons in active?

    Here is what I was referring to - when in Control Center, I have the database locations. (sources, targets, OWF etc). Under a database location I selected the connector/location name under Connectors. When I select Deploy Action to Drop the connector/location name will remain. However, if you were to check in the database or the Repository Browser (Locations Report) you will see that the db link is gone. At this point you can safely modify the Locations info in the Connection Explorer (in Design Center). On the other hand, if you want the location to be deleted all together then now you can delete it in the Connection Explorer panel. If you did the prior drop step then at this point all db link info should be gone from the database.
