Adding the host name to WebSphere Application Server

This topic describes how to modify the WebSphere Application Server with the host name.

  1. Start Windows Notepad on the master console.
  2. Open the file named: c:\program files\ibm\svcconsole\console\embeddedWAS\config\cells\ DefaultNode\nodes\DefaultNode\serverindex.xml.
  3. Find the host name variable and modify it to add the host name.

    For example:

    <serverindex:ServerIndex xmi:id="ServerIndex_1"hostName="host_name">

  4. Find the eight additional references to the host name in the variables called host.
  5. Change all of the references to host to include the host name.

    For example:

    <endPoint xmi:id="EndPoint_1"host="host_name" port="2809"/>

  6. Save and close the file.
  7. Using Notepad, open the file called c:\program files\ibm\svcconsole\console\embeddedWAS\java\ jre\lib\orb.properties. The last line of this file contains a reference to the host name.
  8. Change the line to include the host name (for example: com.ibm.CORBA.LocalHost=old_host_name).
  9. Save and close the file.
  10. Close Notepad.
