Changing domain name in Oracle Applications 11i

1. Run rapid install

Choose configure existent instance option
Then choose open (existent) configurations file
Modify the domain name
Run the install

This will modify the DBS_DOMAIN part only.

You can try to modify the CONFIG.TXT configuration file (from %TEMP% folder) by replacing the old domain name with the new one for xxx_DOMAIN settings. Then re-run the rapid install by opening this configuration file.

If the installation fails, then you will have to perform the following manual steps.

2. Manually modify the configuration files

To modify the other DOMAIN settings (FRM_DOMAIN, WEB_DOMAIN, etc.) modify the following configuration files.

Replace old domain name with new one (ex: FINANCIALS to VOXTEL.MD).

If files are in use then stop the correspondent Oracle service (Apache, etc.).

At path:
Modify files:

 






%APPL_TOP%

(E:\Oracle\Visappl)
<DB_NAME>.cmd  (VIS.cmd)

<DB_NAME>.env  (VIS.env)








%APPL_TOP%\Admin
(E:\Oracle\Visappl\Admin)
adupdprf.sql

 






%?ORACLE_817_HOME?%\appsutil\install
(E:\Oracle\visdb\8.1.7\appsutil\install)
adupdprf.sql

 






%FND_TOP%\resource
(E:\Oracle\visappl\fnd\11.5.0\resource)
appsweb.cfg

 






%OA_HTML%\bin
(E:\Oracle\viscomn\html\bin)
appsweb.cfg

 






%OAH_TOP%\admin\install
(E:\Oracle\viscomn\admin\install)
adgendbc.cmd
adadmprf.sql
adcmprf.sql
adfrmprf.sql
adwebprf.sql








%CCMORAHOME%\NET80\Admin
(E:\Oracle\visora\8.0.6\NET80\ADMIN)
tnsnames.ora

 






%?iAS?_TOP%\Network\Admin
(E:\Oracle\visora\iAS\network\ADMIN)
tnsnames.ora

 






%?iAS?_TOP%\Apache\Apache\conf
(E:\Oracle\visora\iAS\Apache\Apache\conf)
httpd.conf
httpds.conf

 






%?iAS?_TOP%\Apache\Jserv\etc
(E:\Oracle\visora\iAS\Apache\Jserv\etc)
jserv.conf
jserv.properties
ssp_init.txt

 






%OAH_TOP%\portal
(E:\Oracle\viscomn\portal)
aplogon.html
applist.html
appos090.html
nav.html








%CCMORAHOME%\TOOLS\web60\html
(E:\Oracle\visora\8.0.6\TOOLS\web60\html)
runform.htm
runrep.htm

 

3. Create (generate) the DBC (database configuration) file

At path %FND_TOP%\secure (E:\Oracle\visappl\fnd\11.5.0\secure) create new DBC file (testfin.voxtel.md_vis.dbc).
It can be created by:
a) Copying, renaming and modifying the old domain DBC file
(testfin.FINANCIALS_vis.dbc).
or
b) Running the batch command script adgendbc.cmd (with parameters: <APPS username> <APPS password>) at path %OAH_TOP%\admin\install
(E:\Oracle\viscomn\admin\install).

4. Modify profile option values

Run the following SQL*Plus scripts:

Path:	Script:
%APPL_TOP%\Admin (E:\Oracle\Visappl\Admin)	adupdprf.sql
%OAH_TOP%\admin\install (E:\Oracle\viscomn\admin\install)	adadmprf.sql adcmprf.sql adfrmprf.sql adwebprf.sql

Then open applications sign-on form (ex: http://testfin.voxtel.md:8002/dev60cgi/ifcgi60.exe) and in system administrator responsibility open system profile.

Check the domain name in the following profile options (at site level):

Profile option	Value (example)
Applications Web agent	http://testfin.VOXTEL.MD:8002/pls/VIS
TCF:HOST	http://testfin.VOXTEL.MD
ICX: Report Images	http://testfin.VOXTEL.MD:8002/OA_MEDIA
ICX: Report Launcher	http://testfin.VOXTEL.MD:8002/dev60cgi/rwcgi60.exe
ICX: Report Link	http://testfin.VOXTEL.MD:8002/pls/VIS/
ICX:Report Cache	http://testfin.VOXTEL.MD:8002/CACHE
Apps Servlet Agent	http://testfin.VOXTEL.MD:8002/oa_servlets
ICX: Discoverer Launcher	http://testfin.VOXTEL.MD:8002/discwb33/html/english/welcome.htm?Connect=[APPS_SECURE]
ICX: Forms Launcher	http://testfin.VOXTEL.MD:8002/dev60cgi/ifcgi60.exe
ICX: Requisition Server	testfin.VOXTEL.MD:8002

5. Modify services startup/log on as option.

If some Oracle services (ex: Oracle Apache Server) could not be started then try to modify the startup/log on as setting in services window: instead of system account set to this account (ex: FINANCIALS\Administrator).
