RE: Automation Designer question

I imagine it really depends on your apps.

Let's say you have java apps coded to target the actual host/port names.  Then you need to alter the apps (or take the existing server off line, bring up the new server on the existing host/port, I wouldn't recommend this solution).  Caveat: I'm not a java developer so I'm thinking logically on limited information for that problem.

If your apps are coded for the alias in the tns file, then I imagine it's as simple as changing the tns file to give the new host the existing alias - while removing the alias on the old host of course.

Those are two possibilities to highlight: it depends.  It would really be more helpful if you could outline the specifics of how the apps access the databases.  That alone would likely point you in the direction of a solution.
