Changing SAP Mobile Server Host Name

Change the SAP Mobile Server host name. If you are changing the host name for a node in a cluster, the name must be changed for all nodes in the cluster. Additional steps are required if you are making a host name change after an upgrade.

  1. Stop the SAP Mobile Server service.
  2. Update all the socketlistener property files related to the node with the changed host name. Change the value of host to the new host name. The property files are located at ${UnwiredServer}\Repository\Instance\com\sybase\djc\server\SocketListener\<mlservername>_<protocol>.properties. Open each file, and change the old host value name to the new host name.
  3. Update these property values in the cluster database:
    1. Using dbisqlc, connect to the cluster database.
    2. Update MEMBER_PROP, set value1='<new_hostname>' where name='sup.host' and value1='<old_hostname>'
    3. Update installation_info, set "host_name"='<new_hostname>' where "host_name"='<old_hostname>'
    4. Update installation_history, set "host_name"='<new_hostname>' where "host_name"='<old_hostname>'
    5. Update cache_addr_mapping, set "host_name"='<new_hostname>' where "host_name"='<old_hostname>'
  4. Update the property value of sup.host with the new host name in sup.properties. It is located at: Repository\Instance\com\sybase\sup\server\SUPServer\sup.properties.
  5. To enable SAP Control Center to work:
    1. Restart the SAP Control Center X.X service.
    2. Modify the URL in the shortcut for the SAP Control Center. Use the new hostname instead of the old one in the launched URL.
  6. For a cluster environment, repeat step 2 for each node.
  7. Restart the SAP Mobile Server service.
