Changing the public URL using server rename

You can change the public URL for a Jazz™ Team Server by using the server rename capabilities.

About this task

The process for changing the public URL of the Jazz Team Server that hosts Design Management Server is identical to the process that is provided in the Rational® solution for Collaborative Lifecycle Management 4.0 Information Center.

When you install Design Management Server with Collaborative Lifecycle Management, if you rename the Jazz Team Server using a mapping file, you must include the design management application in the mapping file, just like any other application.

Carefully consider clients that rely on the server to be renamed. To prevent any disruption and to preserve availability, notify end users of those clients in advance that you are going to change the URLs of the servers used by those clients. Encourage end users to perform backups and to complete tasks in progress, such as code deliveries, before you start the rename procedure.

Important: To enable the server rename capabilities, you must obtain a feature key file from IBM Software Support. Renaming a server is a complex and potentially disruptive operation because correcting the stored links to the server from other applications and systems can be difficult or impossible. Renaming a server is supported only for a limited set of scenarios, and it requires careful planning. Rename a server only when other approaches are not possible. When you contact IBM Software Support, state that you are requesting a "server rename feature key file."
