There may be a situation when sometimes user needs to change the computer name for the server where Sage X3 is already configured, but as soon as the server name is changed the Sage ERP X3 solution will no longer work.
In this blog, we will see how to reconfigure the Sage X3 solution again with the new computer/domain name.
Unpublished any Print folders and Web folders
Before changing the server name, on the source server, launch the Sage X3 console and choose the Web Servers from the drawer. Select the Publications button on the menu bar. Unchecked all the folders to unpublish them. Do the same procedure to the Printer Servers tab. Select the Print Servers from the drawer, select Publications button, and uncheck all publications to all the folders.
Note: Make sure all the folders have been unpublished before changing the server name.
Stop all X3 Services
Make sure to stop all the Sage X3 services. Launch the Services management console from the Windows Control Panel. You can manually stop all X3 services.
ReconfigureX3
We will need to restart these services at later stage.
Update the Sage X3 Solution File
To update the sage x3 file first navigate to your X3 solution directory and locate the file “Solution.xml”. For e.g.: “C:\Sage\SAGEX3V6\X3V65\Folders” Make a backup of this file. Edit the “solution.xml” with Notepad, Text Pad or Notepad++, etc. Use the Search and Replace function to find all instances of the old server name and replace it with the new server name. Save changes after all instances have been replaced.

Update the X3 Console configuration file
All the Sage X3 Console configuration files are stored in the user folder directory i.e. “C:\Documents and Settings \(user-name)\ Application Data\Sage\Console”.
Backup all the files from the Console directory. Then edit each console configuration .xml file with Notepad, Text Pad, or Notepad++, etc. Use the Search and Replace function to find all instances of the old server name and replace it with the new server name. Save changes after all instances have been replaced.
