Answer 1

as Glenn Mentioned try putting a single quote around the Host alias that you are using
'alawdin3000.xxx.com'
If that doesn't work I would try using the host name or the IP name instead.
There is a section in the tech ref about using host names when doing transparent partioning, which to me implies (if they have a section devoted to it) that their may be issues around it.
Using Host Name Aliases When Partitioning
If you want to use network aliases for the data source or data target names, you must make sure that the aliases are propagated to all computers on your system. Otherwise, use the full server name.
To propagate an alias to all the computers on your system, edit the /etc/hosts file (on UNIX systems) or the %WINDIR%/system32/drivers/etc/hosts file (on Windows systems), adding an entry with the IP address, followed by the host name, followed by the alias.
For example, if you want to use an alias abcdefg.hijk.123 for a system with host name hostname.domainname having IP address 172.234.23.1, then the host file entry should be:
172.234.23.1 hostname. domainname abcdefg.hijk.123
In case of multiple aliases, append the aliases following the hostname. For example, if you want to use multiple aliases abcdefg.hijk.123 and lmnopqrs.tuvw.456 for a system with host name hostname.domainname having IP address 172.234.23.1, then the host file entries should be:
172.234.23.1 hostname. domainname abcdefg.hijk.123 lmnopqrs.tuvw.456
172.234.23.1 hostname. domainname lmnopqrs.tuvw.456 abcdefg.hijk.123
Notes
Do not use localhost as an alias to specify source and target server names.
The user should have root or admin privileges for the system to edit the hosts file.
