Nways problems after Hostname & IP Address change

[Don Davis <don-n-darla@WORLDNET.ATT.NET>]

Christo,
My guess is that you will have to clear and restart the "ObjectStore"
database.
The daemons that are complaining are related to RABM and ATM.

In the following message, OS4 indicates ObjectStore v4.0
This is probably an old message that missed being updated.
You should be at ObjectStore v5.0 unless you are running an older version of Nways

"/usr/lpp/ODI/OS4.0/cset/bin/ossvrping f6n1"

Do not confuse Nways ObjectStore database with Framework's oserv.

Call Nways support if you need further assistance clearing and restarting
the Nways database. I don't think it is doccumented well in the Nways dtext.
