The header is from a show done in Israel and is one of the pearls of wisdom
from Jerusalem.
The guy who is responsible for the fucked up system that went down last
weekend decided to move the system to the backup server and run it from
there until they fixed up the original server.
He did it by doing an export/import to the new server and then renaming the
servers.
I talked with him and told him: Switch also the IP address for the servers.
He: NO need. the tnsnames and everything go by server name.
I: OK.
One hour later: HELP (and he IS an idiot) - we brought up the system and it seems not right. We brought down the database that the application is not supposed to work with and the application bomb. A little test and: SUPRIZE - they got IP addresses in the hosts file in windows and the application worked against the old database.
Now he is changing also the IP address and doing build database and import again 2-3 hours more. So I am stuck here at least until 22:00 to 23:00.
