CHANGE ALIAS
Use the CHANGE ALIAS command to change an alias profile in the AliasDB
file on the client.
CHANGE ALIAS prompts you for the current value of the alias name of the
alias profile you want to change, and then for a new alias name. If you
do not want to change the alias name, press the Return key instead of
entering a new name.
The current value of each parameter following the alias name is
displayed. You are prompted to enter a new value. To keep the current
value, press the Return key.
CHANGE ALIAS can be abbreviated to CA.
To issue this command, you must log on as MANAGER.SYS or have SM
capability.

Parameters
AliasName is the alias name of the DBEnvironment that resides
on the server. It is used by the application on the
client. This name must be unique on the client and
does not need to be the same as the DBEnvironment
name. It can consist of ASCII 7-bit characters as
well as some 8-bit and 16-bit character sets (either
ASCII or non-ASCII). The alias name can contain up to
128 characters, is not case-sensitive, and is stored
and displayed exactly as it was entered.
The first character of this field cannot be an
asterisk (*).
DBServerType is ALLBASE/SQL, the database management system server
type on the server. (HP SQL is still supported as a
database server type. However, if you enter HP SQL,
NETUtil displays it as ALLBASE/SQL.) The server type
name is not case-sensitive and is stored and
displayed in uppercase characters.
DBEnvironmentName is the fully qualified filename of the DBEnvironment
on the MPE/iX server or the absolute pathname of the
DBEnvironment on the HP-UX server. This name follows
the file naming conventions of the operating system
on which the DBEnvironment resides.
The MPE/iX DBEnvironment name cannot exceed 26
characters in length and is not case-sensitive.
The HP-UX DBEnvironment name cannot exceed 128
characters in length and is case-sensitive.
The DBEnvironment name is stored and displayed
exactly as it was entered.
ServerNodeName is the node name of the server you want to access.
The server node name is not case-sensitive and is
stored and displayed in the case in which it was
entered. However, "node" is the same as "NODE" when
the SQL application is running and executes a CONNECT
or START DBE command with an alias name.
MachineType [REV BEG]
is the machine type of the server. Enter HP 3000
S900, HP9000 S700, or HP9000 Series 800. A space is
required between HP3000 or HP9000 and the series
number. The machine type name is not case-sensitive
and is stored in uppercase characters.[REV END]
DatacommType is the network service interface you are using. The
datacomm type is either NS or ARPA. The data
communication type name is not case-sensitive and is
stored and displayed in uppercase characters.
Example
[REV BEG]
In this example, the server node name is changed from the
snode.sdomain.sorg to snode and the datacomm type is changed from NS to
ARPA.[REV END]
