Question Re: uPerform URL change in Human Capital Management Q&A

uPerform URL change

Former Member — Thu, 24 Nov 2011 05:39:52 GMT

Hi,

My current 4.32 uPerform server is installed on Windows 2008 R2 and IIS7.0 using the hostname. Currently end users call the website via http://hostname.domain

I have just recently added a friendlier DNS name to the server. How can I get the URL to change to the new http://dnsname.domain ?

I can call uPerform now with the new http://dnsname.domain but the browser will immediately switch back to the hostname.domain URL once uPerform is displayed.

**Update - did try to change the bindings but the URL still reverted to hostname.domain

Any ideas on how to make the dnsname.domain URL stick?

Thanks.

Hi Eugene,

On your corporate DNS you can have your network team assign

a hostname to the ip address of the server.

Howevwer before you do this you can check the following settings and

see if either a domain name or just IP address is maintained

The following configuration files need to be updated with the new domain

name or IP address

<InstallPath>/Collaboration/conf/startup.props

<InstallPath>/Collaboration/collab.props

<InstallPath>/Collaboration/WWW/Python/web.config

<InstallPath>/Collaboration/WWW/script/common.js

<InstallPath>/Collaboration/WWW/uPerformWS/RWD.uPerform.ServerConf

iguration.DLL.Config

<InstallPath>/Collaboration/jkconnect/conf/workers.properties

You can perform a search for the existing name and replace it with the

new one everywhere it exists. After modifying the files, you will need

to restart the Vignette Services in order for the changes to take

affect.

Hope this helps,

Kind Regards,

Matthew

Hi Matthew,

Tried your recommendation. Did not help. The URL still changed back to hostname immediately upon displaying the welcome page. Furthermore, I got unauthorised errors when trying to publish documents.

Anyhow, reverted everything back to original and no problems.
