The following EMS server configurations files are to be checked when the IP Address of the EMS server is changed.

1). Tibemsd.conf
2). Routes.conf
3). Factories.conf


If  those files are already configured with the machine name of the EMS server instead of using the machine’s IP address directly,  nothing needs to be changed. Simply  restart the EMS server. When the EMS server restarts it will use the new configured IP address.

If the files are configured with the old IP address, the old IP address should be
replaced with the new IP address and the EMS server should be restarted.

In the configuration file, it  is a best practice to have machine names rather than hard
coded IP address. This way the files do not need to be reconfigured if the IP address should get changed in the future.

If EMS clients are already using the machine name in the URL, simply restarting the client will reestablish communication with the EMS server. If the IP address of the EMS server is used on client side, the client will need to use the new IP address.
