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
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.
- 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 |
|
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.
