How do I update the MID Server Configuration Parameter "url"

[garth]

We renamed our instances. Let's say abctest was renamed xyztest. Now I need to change the URL on the mid servers to match our new urls.

I have searched the documentation and the community but am not finding clear instructions how to do this.

When I go to the mid server (now) xyztest instance and open the "URL" configuration parameter, it allows me to change abctest to xyztest in the field (it is not grayed out), but when I go to update it, it says " You are attempting to add or modify a read-only parameter -- not allowed" and "Invalid update".

I have determined this is due to Business Rule "Check for read only". I don't know if this is an OOB business rule and I shouldn't try to get around it for a good reason, or if this is a custom rule somebody put in place way back when to prevent someone from accidentally breaking it and it is okay to go around it and make the change here. It shows updated 2011-09-21 12:52:09 by tom.dilatush

If I do make the change here and restart the mid server, is that all I need to do?

Thanks!

1. Login to mid server
2. stop the mid server service
3. go to installed directory like (c:/servicenow)
4. you will find config xml file.
5. right click on it and edit ( change url here)
6. save the file
7. start the mid server

That all
