How to fix a messed up Discovery URL?

We were using address forwarding with the hosts file, and WAS did not accept multiple forwarded addresses with serverFQN.

We now are trying to look for a way to fix the lame RTC Discovery URL, short of restoring an earlier backup of the DBs, without a sync'ed back up of the indices (hence requiring re-indexing):

• Either by registering the app RTC again as when first installed
• or to configure WAS with virtual hosts

As we have restored the original WAS config of 3 JVMs on 3 separate servers to the profile and found:

• Indeed, modifying the RTC Discovery URL had messed up the RTC entry in the Registered Applications page

Name AppType Version Discovery URL

/admin LPA 4.0.5 https:<JTSserverFQN>:9443/admin/scr

/jazz Unknown https:/<JTSserverFQN>:9443/jazz/scr

/qm QM 4.0.5 https:<RQMserverFQN>:9443/qm/scr

/rm RM 4.0.5 https:<JTSserverFQN>:9443/rm/scr

• Also on JTS and RQM Diagnostics
