Oracle Applications: Change IP Address

1. Change the IP Address in the Server;

2. Verify the current ip address setup in the Oracle Applications environment. Connect as apps user into SQL*Plus and run:

select NODE_NAME, STATUS, NODE_MODE, NODE_ID,SERVER_ADDRESS, HOST, DOMAIN, WEBHOST, VIRTUAL_IP

from fnd_nodes

where node_name = 'HOSTNAME';

3. Run the following command to remove the old ip address from the Oracle Applications tables:

Approach 1:
perl $AD_TOP/bin/adgentns.pl appspass=apps contextfile=$APPL_TOP/admin/_hostname.xml -removeserver

replace _hostname.xml for the context file name under the $APPL_TOP/admin directory;

then connect to SQL*Plus as apps user and run:

begin
FND_NET_SERVICES.remove_server('', '');
end;
/
commit;
/

Approach 2:
SQL> EXEC FND_CONC_CLONE.SETUP_CLEAN;
SQL> COMMIT;

4. Run autoconfig to populate the values using the new IP Address.

5. Confirm the ip address has been changed to the new value changed in the step 1:

select NODE_NAME, STATUS, NODE_MODE, NODE_ID,SERVER_ADDRESS, HOST, DOMAIN, WEBHOST, VIRTUAL_IP from fnd_nodes where node_name = 'HOSTNAME';
