This document provides steps to change the DBID and DBNAME of an Oracle database using the NID utility in Oracle 10gR2 and later versions. The key steps are: 1) shutdown the database, startup in mount mode, and run the NID utility to change the DBID and DBNAME; 2) modify configuration files like tnsnames.ora, listener.ora, and init.ora to reflect the new DBNAME; and 3) open the database with the RESETLOGS option.

How to Change the DBID, DBNAME Using NID Utility in version 10gR2 onwards :

===========================================================================
Steps to change DBID and DBNAME:
Source database name is SBSDSS and we will convert it to dssdr.
$ export ORACLE_SID=SBSDSS
$ sqlplus sys as sysdba
SQL> shutdown immediate
SQL> startup mount
SQL> exit;
$ nid target=sys/Ot6$admin dbname=dssdr SETNAME=YES
Change database ID and database name SBSDSS to dssdr? (Y/[N]) => Y
Modify parameter file and generate a new password file before restarting.
Database ID for database dssdr changed to 3803284043.
All previous backups and archived redo logs for this database are unusable.
Database is not aware of previous backups and archived logs in Recovery Area.
Database has been shutdown, open database with RESETLOGS option.
Succesfully changed database name and ID.
DBNEWID - Completed succesfully.
$ cd /data1/oracle11g/product/11.2.0/dbhome_2/dbs/
Now, create new password file for new name:
$ orapwd file=$ORACLE_HOME/dbs/orapwdssdr password=sys force=y
Make new init.ora file and from existing init.ora file and change db_name parame
ter from SBSDSS to dssdr
$ cp initSBSDSS.ora initdssdr.ora
change *.db_name='SBSDSS' to *.db_name='dssdr' in init file.
Change the $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/tnsnames.ora file wherever it has the old
db name.
If there is a static registration of the database in the listener.ora file then
change the database name in the following file $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/listen
er.ora.
Open the database with Resetlogs option:
$ sqlplus sys as sysdba
SQL> startup mount
SQL> alter database open resetlogs;
SQL> select instance_name from v$instance;
