Troubleshooting Host Name Problems

Problem: After installation, you determine that you need to change the host name (machine name); for example, the host name is too long, or includes reserved characters. Changing the host name is rarely done in a production system.

Solution: Change the SAP Mobile Server host name. For a node in a cluster, you must change the name for each node in the cluster. Additional steps are required if you are changing the host name after an upgrade from a previous version of SAP Mobile Platform.

After changing the host name, you may encounter temporary connection problems to SAP Mobile Server. This is because the DNS servers may not resolve the IP difference until the connections are refreshed.
