Oracle E-Business Suite 11.5.9 Application & Database

Question

Hello Folks,
Happy New Year.
Need quick document in meta-link or blog which will help me connect the database on other server to the Oracle E-business Suite EBS application
The scenario:
Application and Database are on the server_A (hostname ServerA)
I have made a cold backup of the database and restored it on Server_B ( hostname ServerB) { let us say I migrated / moved the database to another machine }
Database starts and listener starts fine on ServerB
Now, the question is: How can I connect or point the Oracle EBS 11.5.x application to the Database on ServerB ?

Answer 1

Thanks Hussein,
SQL> select owner, object_type from dba_objects where object_name = 'FND_NODES';
OWNER OBJECT_TYPE
APPLSYS TABLE
APPS SYNONYM
SQL> SELECT trigger_name , status FROM user_triggers WHERE table_name = 'FND_NODES' ;
TRIGGER_NAME STATUS
FNDSM ENABLED
UPNAME ENABLED
Hussein, the specific question is as such.. I don't know if this is possible or not.
Can you have two databases connected to the same application.
Scenario:
SERVER_A = has both the application and database
using DBVISIT software / which is an alternative to DataGuard ... which transfers the archive log files to the other server, I have moved or made the standby server as my primary database . see here for details http://blog.dbvisit.com/the-power-of-oracle-services-with-standby-databases/
Two Questions:
1) How to re-configure my Application ( Oracle EBS ) to point to the same Database but on a different hostname/server/ip address which you have answered and referred to the MetaLink documents ( thank you for that )
2) Can I have two pointers to the database in the Application, to the existing one and to the one on standby server ?
a) is this possible ?
Also,
now regarding changing the hostname for the database in Oracle EBS apps you have recommended
Rapid Clone Documentation Resources For Release 11i and 12 [ID 799735.1] -- Rapid Clone of E-Business Suite Release 11i
How to change the hostname and/or port of the Database Tier using AutoConfig [ID 338003.1]
How to get a clean Autoconfig Environment ? [ID 391406.1]
Using AutoConfig to Manage System Configurations with Oracle Applications 11i [ID 165195.1]
Now, I have read those documents which is kind of summarized here:

I hope my question is clear.
I have already moved the database to another Machine ( different hostname + different IP ) and the application is on the previous machine
So, to connect the Application on SERVER_A to the same database but on a different machine SERVER_B I will have to only follow the instructions mentioned in Metalink 338003.1 or do I need more steps ?
