CHANGES
The server hostname was changed.
CAUSE
The value of the "Host" entry in Windows Registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREOracleOracleMTSRecoveryServiceProtid_0. 3 still points to the old hostname.
This leads to failure of creating httpsvr when starting up the OracleMTSRecoveryService.
SOLUTION
1. Please open the Windows registry by running "regedit".
2. Please set the correct hostname for the "Host" entry in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREOracleOracleMTSRecoveryServiceProtid_0. 3.
3. Startup the OracleMTSRecoveryService again.
