    Description:
    The client won't connect to the server. This is due to a DNS change that happened yesterday. The Aleph server name was changed to sfx3.bibl.abc.edu. Previously, it was sfx.bibl.abc.edu.

    Everything seems fine on the server side. When I go to Util-W-1-1, everything is fine. Only thing I see is with the Oracle server: it seems to be configured with the sfx.bibl.abc.edu hostname.

    The pc_server log shows:

    license_check [err]: No match for IP address 132.203.216.022

    132.203.216.022 is the address of *old* server (sfx.bibl.abc.edu). It seems Aleph is still looking there.

    Which files should I edit to correct this?

    (Note: This is *not* a TWO-TASK configuration; Oracle is on this same server.)

    Resolution:
    The ORA-HOST and Z39_HOST lines in $alephe_root/aleph_start:

    setenv ORA_HOST sfx
    setenv Z39_HOST sfx
    setenv WWW_HOST rvm.bibl.ulaval.ca
    setenv PDS_HOST rvm.bibl.ulaval.ca

    need to be changed to "sfx3". Please make this change and restart aleph (run aleph_shutdown & aleph_startup).
