How to change the Oracle EBusiness Suite url
Normally while you install oracle R12 it takes the hostname as url name. So, you can access the oracle apps instance as http://:/OA_HTML/AppsLogin
An example is http://machinename.domainname:8000/OA_HTML/AppsLogin
The following article will explain you how you can change the url to other name instead of hostname of the machine.
Here I am assuming the hostname of the server is HOSTNAME and currently the instance is accesible from http://HOSTNAME.domainname:8000/OA_HTML/AppsLogin
and we'll change the url to
http://URLNAME.domainname:8000/OA_HTML/AppsLogin
- Set the apps environment file.
- Check the CONTEXT_FILE name
- Take a backup of the context file
Now change the following parameter in context file.
1. s_webentryhost
This is the name of the host that receives the first HTTP request from the desktop client. Previously it was set as hostname of the server [HOSTNAME]. Change this value to URLNAME.
2. s_webentrydomain
This is domain name of the host that receives the first HTTP request from the desktop client
Change the domain name if required.
3. s_login_page
This is the URL used to access the Applications logon page.
Change it from the old value http://HOSTNAME.domainname:8000/OA_HTML/AppsLogin to new value http://URLNAME.domainname:8000/OA_HTML/AppsLogin .
4. s_external_url
This is URL that third party tools use to connect to the E-Business Suite System.
old value = http://HOSTNAME.domainname:8000/
new value = http://URLNAME.domainname:8000/
After changing the values, do the following.
- Run the AutoConfig utility on all the application tier Servers
- Restart application server processes
- Test sign on from the web entry point
通过测试，url的修改在R12.1和R12.2中都是可以的；hostname的测试还没有做。
修改ebs服务器hostname的方法参看metalink文档：
How tochange hostname for E-Business Suite Release 12 on single node (文档 ID1277556.1)
修改IP参考：
Please see (Note: 554843.1 - How to change the IP Address on a R12 EBusiness Suite Installation). You will also have to purge the FND_NODES table and run AutoConfig on the database tier node then on the application tier node(s) as per (Note: 260887.1 - Steps to Clean Nonexistent Nodes or IP Addresses from FND_NODES).
For the client sides, you will have to edit the IP Address in the hosts file.
