how to configure DNS names in topologies

Hello Team,

I would like to preserver my Public URI and would like to avoid server rename when moving between two CLM Server machine.

One method to achieve this will be to use:

DNS names in topologies

The link mentioned below has some information on achieving this process:

https://jazz.net/help-dev/clm/index.jsp?re=1&topic=/com.ibm.jazz.install.doc/topics/c_virtual_host.html?resultof=%22DNS%22%20%22dn%22%20%22alias%22%20%22alia%22%20&scope=null


Is there any detailed information step by step process to achieve the above procedure..
Any article or document that can be refereed to when setting this type of environment.


Thanks

Anish

Anish,

https://jazz.net/library/article/831 shows how to grow from one machine to a distributed deployment keeping one public URI root for all tools. It uses a IBM HTTP Server as proxy.

Thank you Ralph, But I'm specifically looking to achieve "DNS Names in topologies" and will not be using WAS as the application server

Is there a documented procedure to achieve this setup??

Thank you,
Anish.

The following article explains how to set up a reverse proxy when using Apache web server routing to Tomcat
https://jazz.net/library/article/1066


ALso when using DNS names, we expect that the server is configured to listen on DNS name that is not bound to any specific host.  For example.
1. My host name is computer_1
2. RTC is cnfigured to listen on clm.com
3. The DNS server is configured to route requests for clm.com to computer_1
4. In the future, if I need to move RTC to computer_2 then all I need to do is update the DNS server so clm.com will route to computer_2
5. The computers nic cards that host RTC will also need to be configured to accept requests for clm.com

Hello Anish,
There is no simple description how to do that. The steps are highly dependent of your network architecture. There is something which should be performed by your network administrator.
