I had run the chgiphost.bat on a Windows AS 10.1.3.0.0. The reason for this was the fact that the Windows machine was created from a Ghost image.
But after the script has been run successfully I saw that the hostname was still the same in the Application Server Control.

So I created a SR with Support. And today I received a very good answer. Normally Support gives you a statement that it does not work and that's that. But see for yourself what this friendly analyst did say:

The dcmctl setInstanceName is available from 9.0.4 onwards. This will change the instance name in the DCM Repository.
After this you may have to change the targets.xml file with the new instance name. Please note that the above command is not supported as this is not documented."

Ok, very good!
I will make sure that this guy gets an excellent review.

However there is now cmctl in 10.1.3.0.0 and also no targets.xml :-(

But actually the idea was clear to me.

I went to have a look at the opmn.xml file.

When I changed
< id="as1013.OLDHOSTNAME.mymachine.local" name="as1013.OLDHOSTNAME.mymachine.local">

to

< id="as1013.NEWHOSTNAME.mymachine.local" name="as1013.NEWHOSTNAME.mymachine.local">

everything worked as I expected it to do.

For me 10.1.3.3 is setting the newHostName as "Unknown". Though my sample program works fine to get the InetAddress.getLocalHostName(). Not sure where this chgip is setting the host as Unknown.

Oracle Fusion Middleware Forum in Valencia

Last week the 22nd Fusion Middleware and PaaS Partner Community Forum took place in Valencia, Spain. For me this was a very valuable experience - again as I have visited a number of #ofmForum before. Let me recap here the highlights of this meeting. After a great Welcome-Reception the evening before, where everybody had the chance to catch up with a large number of old (and soon-to-be new) friends, the conference started with a kind of the state of the union by Jürgen Kress. The community already has more than 8000 people. This - in a fact - is a tremendous achievement. Everybody agrees that this is only possible by the relentless work of Jürgen who puts a big effort into this. It shows that other areas inside the Oracle technology stack do not benefit by equivalent communities. Even other communities, when they exist at all, do not compete in the same league. So a VERY BIG THANK YOU for Jürgen is at its place here. After the opening a keynote from Alistair Hopkins showed ver...

Different silent install files WLS 10.3.2 and 10.3.3

Today I tried to cut some corners and use a silent.xml file for WLS 10.3.3 for a silent installation of 10.3.2. To my amazement on a clean machine I received the following error: oracle@xxx001:/opt/oracle$ java -Djava.io.tmpdir=/opt/oracle/tmp -jar /nfsstage/wls1032_generic.jar -mode=silent -silent_xml=./silent/wls_silent.xml -log=/tmp/wls.log Extracting 0%....................................................................................................100% The local BEA product registry is corrupted. Please select another Middleware Home or contact Oracle Support I checked the wls_silent.xml file and found that it includes Coherence, which was not bundled with the 10.3.2 version. So I modified the 10.3.3 silent_xml file from value="WebLogic Server/Core Application Server|WebLogic Server/Administration Console|WebLogic Server/Configuration Wizard and Upgrade Framework|WebLogic Server/Web 2.0 HTTP Pub-Sub Server|WebLogic Server/WebLogic JDBC Drivers|WebLogic Server/Third ...

Paas Summercamp 2017 in Lisbon

So – another summer camp is over. What was the outcome of this? Was there more to it than meeting some old friends, dive into some slides, get your hands dirty on new versions and finally talk about it over a glass of Portuguese wine or beer? So let’s start at the beginning – where are we right now? In the Process Cloud Service track the global PM Nathan Angstadt kicked of the session by asking how many projects we are on that use PCS and how we get along selling the product. The outcome was somewhat predictable: about one or two participants were on PCS projects, and selling is still a big issue. We discussed the various reasons for that. The main essence was that the PCS is often positioned at previous BPM customers who still have to deal with large BPM implementations and are somewhat afraid of the new PCS-style. BPM and PCS are two different things. They target different customer issues. BPM is still useful when it comes to large scale implementation...
