You'll have to copy this port number into the Port No field when you're configuring your alias:. Note that you'll have to set the Alias Name to the exact value used in your connection string. Once an alias has been created and all relevant system objects have been updated to reference the alias, renaming or moving the server becomes a much less tedious process as only the alias need to be updated to reference the new server name.
This can save literally hundreds of hours of work in large scale environments, especially when it comes to updating cross server queries in system objects such as stored procedures. The New Alias window will be displayed. Under Alias Name you will provide the alias you want to use for the server. In many cases you will want to use as the port, as this is the default SQL Server port. I have a database with XYZ and port number is Now I want to create a alias to change my database name.
Explain me as I am beginner to this. We have several applications that connect to the database and it would be difficult to modify them. Q2: Not sure if I understood the article but I would be creating the Alias on the two new servers within the Virtual Clusters. Your help is appreciated. This article explains creating alias name for a server. If you want to create for sql server, create in linked server using the below query.
EXEC master. I tried your steps to change the alise name for the server,but its not working Never mind. Followed instructions. Port is determined dynamically so made sure SQL Browser was running, and left port blank using configuration manager.
That did not work. So then used SQL Server network client and set check mark to dynamically determine port.
And that did not work. It seems you have to define the alias on the 32bit and 64bit part in the server config mgr. I can't get an alias defined on the server to work.
Client alias definition works, but defining a client alias is not an option laptops floating around. The definition of an alias on the server should be enough?
Please let me know the batch process to insert many aliases. Using the alias is something you'd only consider doing when it's either a not doable to change the connection or b it requires you to change it in a lot of places or is very hard to change. If the app config is relatively straightforward to change, then you'd make the change. And you may be thinking, does a exist?
I've seen 3rd party apps that hard-coded stuff like this during the install. That would be a case where you'd use the alias. What if you have to move a database the second time to another server. Effectively now you will have to create another alias? Thereby the application would make two hops? Doesn't it make more sense to go into the application's config to change it there, for whatever application it is?
