How to change the DBNAME /DBID using DBNEWID(nid) utility for Oracle database

 Change Only the DBID using NID Utility

Here we will be only changing the DBID of the Oracle database.


(1) Backup Database


rman target /

backup database;

exit

(2) shutdown immediate


sqlplus / as sysdba


SQL> shutdown immediate;

Database closed.

Database dismounted.

ORACLE instance shut down.

SQL>exit

(3) startup mount


sqlplus / as sysdba


SQL> startup mount;

ORACLE instance started.

Fixed Size                  2253584 bytes

Variable Size             457873600 bytes

Database Buffers          343860800 bytes

Redo Buffers                7471104 bytes

Database mounted.

SQL> exit

(4) Open one session and run NID utility(DBNEWID utility) with sysdba privileges  to change the DB ID.

Connected to database EXPTEST (DBID=587585)

 

Connected to server version 11.2.0

 

Control Files in database:

    +DATA/EXPTEST/control01.ctl

    +FLASH/EXPTEST/control02.ctl

   

 

Change database ID ? (Y/[N]) => Y

 

Proceeding with operation

Changing database ID from 587585 to 587585534

 


Database ID for database EXPTEST changed to 587585534.

All previous backups and archived redo logs for this database are unusable.

Database has been shutdown, open database with RESETLOGS option.

Successfully changed database  ID.

DBNEWID - Completed successfully.

(5) Startup of the database with open resetlogs


sqlplus / as sysdba


SQL> startup mount;

ORACLE instance started.

Change Only the DBNAME

Here we will be only changing the DBNAME of the Oracle database.

exit

(2) shutdown immediate


sqlplus / as sysdba


SQL> shutdown immediate;

SQL> exit


(4) Open one session and run NID with sysdba privileges


nid TARGET=SYS/password@test_db DBNAME=exptest_db2 SETNAME=Y

    +DATA/EXPTEST/control01.ctl

    +FLASH/EXPTEST/control02.ctl

   

 

Change database name ? (Y/[N]) => Y

 

Proceeding with operation

Database name changed to EXPTEST_DB2.

 

All previous backups and archived redo logs for this database are unusable.

Database has been shutdown, open database with RESETLOGS option.

Succesfully changed database name.

DBNEWID - Completed succesfully.

the value of DBNAME is the new db-name of the database

SETNAME must be set to Y. The default is N and causes the DBID to be changed also.

(5) Set the DB_NAME initialization parameter in the initialization parameter

file to the new database name


(6) Create password file in oracle using orapwd


(7) Startup of the database(with resetlogs)


sqlplus / as sysdba


SQL> startup mount;

ORACLE instance started.

Change Both DBID and DBNAME

Here we will be changing both the DBID and DBNAME of the Oracle database.

rman target /

backup database;

exit

(2) shutdown immediate


sqlplus / as sysdba

Change database name and ID ? (Y/[N]) => Y


Proceeding with operation

Database name changed to EXPTEST_DB2.

Modify parameter file and generate a new password file before restarting.

Database ID for database EXPTEST_DB2 changed to 587585534.

All previous backups and archived redo logs for this database are unusable.

Database has been shutdown, open database with RESETLOGS option.

Successfully changed database name and ID.

DBNEWID - Completed successfully.

the value of DBNAME is the new dbname of the database

(5) After DBNEWID successfully changes the DBID,shutdown immediate


(6) Set the DB_NAME initialization parameter in the initialization parameter file to the new database name.


(7) Create a new password file with orapwd


(8) Startup of the database with open resetlogs


sqlplus / as sysdba

I hope you like this content on NID Utility in oracle. I have provided the step by step implementation for each of the path.
