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.
You must have superuser capability to issue this command.

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. The name can be composed of 16-bit
characters or other ASCII or non-ASCII 8-bit characters and can
contain up to 128 characters. The HP-UX alias name is
case-sensitive; the MPE/iX alias name is not case-sensitive.
The alias name 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 absolute pathname of the DBEnvironment on the HP-UX
server and the fully qualified filename of the DBEnvironment on
the MPE/iX server. This name follows the file naming
conventions of the operating system on which the DBEnvironment
resides.
An HP-UX DBEnvironment name cannot exceed 128 characters in
length, is case-sensitive, and is localizable (8-bit and 16-bit
characters).
An MPE/iX DBEnvironment name cannot exceed 26 characters in
length and is not 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
uppercase characters.
- MachineType
is the machine type of the server. Enter
HP9000 S700, HP9000 S800, or HP3000 S900. A space is required between
HP9000 or HP3000 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. If you are using HP-UX release 10.0 on either the client or server,
ARPA is the only valid entry.
Example |
|
In this example, the NS server node name is changed from
system1 to system2.
