Cause
The processor.DLL had references that need to be updated.
Resolution
UPDATED: November 14, 2017Please go to C:\Program Files (x86)\PBBI CCM\DOC1\Designer\Client and C:\Program Files and (x86)\PBBI CCM\DOC1\Designer\Server , you have a file named processor.DLL as an XML file.
Keep a backup of old copies.
Open the files in textpad and change all the references of the old host name to the new name.
Restart all services.
