RE: Impact of changing the system name

ADDTCPIFC, add a new IP address for the new name. Start it. Connect to
it with your PC. Phase it in. After awhile you can do a NETSTAT *CNN and
see who is using the old address. You'll run into <expletive deleted>
like the <expletive deleted> <expletive deleted> that TL Ashford pulls by
insisting that the clients who use their software use a <expletive
deleted> host table on their PC which I discovered while doing a switch
test today and running into a bunch of <expletive deleted> issues with
them. When called on the carpet about it they just told us to deal with
it.

Can you have two WRKRDBDIRE local type names? Sure. It's weird but
documented for strange cases like High Availability fail over. I'm in the
process, as I type, of verifying just what isn't working when I did a
midweek switch from our Primary development lpar to our backup development
lpar.
