Server rename is a complex and potentially disruptive operation because correcting the stored links to the server from other applications and systems may be difficult or impossible. Server rename is only supported for a specific set of scenarios and requires careful planning. Use server rename only as a last resort when other approaches are unworkable. To enable server rename you must obtain a feature key file from IBM® Software Support. When contacting IBM support, please mention that you are requesting a "Server Rename Feature Key File".
More detailed information regarding server rename can be found in the documentation for the Rational® solution for Collaborative Lifecycle Management. The goal of this section is to provide a high level overview of the process, and the additional steps you must undertake when doing a server rename against Rational Engineering Lifecycle Manager and its components.
