OracleXETNSListener could not be started

INTRODUCTION

The OracleServiceXE and OracleXETNSListener services must be running under services.msc for the Dualog system to function.

Before installing the Dualog Connection suite on a machine, the computer name must be changed (if required).

If the change was made afterward, the OracleXETNSListener could not be started because the old computer name was still associated with the relevant configuration files.

This article explains how to update the hostname in the relevant configuration files step by step.
