Using the Instance Manager to Rename a Database Server Instance (Windows)

You can also use the Instance Manager rename option, to change the name for a database server instance.

To rename a database server instance
  1. Shut down the database server instance that you want to rename.
  2. Select Server Instance Manager from the Dynamic Server menu.

    The Instance Manager displays a list of available instances.

  3. Select the instance to rename and click Rename Server.
  4. In the dialog box that appears, enter your password and specify the new database server name.

After you rename the server instance, you can start the instance.

If an administrator changed the name of ONCONFIG file or the MSGLOG file to a file with a custom name before the server instance was renamed, you must manually edit the file to change the name.
