IP address of ds server machine will be changed. Does this situation require ds server reinstall or any other todos?

Thanks in advance

DataStage itself would need to be reinstalled only when changing the machine name.

Why?

And if only the IP address is changed, even that ought to be unnecessary.

The machine name is used in the UV.ACCOUNT file and in the schema; when the machine name changes the license validation stops working and you need to re-install.

Sorry, I was a bit terse. I meant, given that the question is about changing IP address, why did you give an unqualified answer about changing the machine name?

Good one - from someone who is, occasionally, guilty of the same transgression.
