It depends on how settings were made originally. If host settings were set to "localhost" you won't have to change them; but if they were set to the actual hostname of the server, you obviously would need to change them.

/etc/iw.cfg

,

ODHOME/etc/odbase.xml

, and

ODHOME/etc/odnodes.xml

are obvious places to check (also remember to check all OD receivers'

ODHOME/etc/odrcvr.xml

with regard to allowedHosts).

IWHOME/etc/TS.lic

and

ODHOME/etc/OD.lic

will need to be regenerated on the Support site.

However, there are numerous configuration files throughout the product that, unfortunately, are not all in one location - so using a find and egrep command line may be the only way to find all such instances. Something like:

find /Interwoven -type f \( -name "*.cfg" -o -name "*.xml" -o -name "*.conf" -o -name "*.properties" \) | xargs egrep -i hostname > /tmp/host_entries.txt

There may be other file name extensions to check but the above should get most if not all of the files you need to consider. The above also assumes that all of the products are installed under

/Interwoven

- as you don't want to limit yourself to just checking under

IWHOME

and

ODHOME

.

Note - "

hostname

" should probably be sans domain name, so you can find both

hostname

and

hostname.do.main

.

If the base hostname is staying the same, but the domain is the only thing that's changing,

hostname

should be replaced with

domainname

for the grep - and the use of the '-i' flag for egrep is to make sure that you find "

hostname

", "

HOSTNAME

", and any other capitalization construct.

Hope that helps.

If you go this route, it would be nice if you posted the list of files you identify - along with the version information (since different versions may have different configuration files)
