Issue with virtual host alias creation

[Former Member]

Hello,

We are trying to to add an alias name for the default virtual host in SAP API management.

We have created an XML file, called: newvh.xml, with the following code

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>

<VirtualHost name="default">

<HostAliases>

<HostAlias><FQDN for the server where router and message processor are installed</HostAlias>

</HostAliases>

<Interfaces/>

<Port>9001</Port>

</VirtualHost>

This is the command that I run in order to update the alias:

curl -u <admin user email>:<password> -X PUT http://<management server address:8080/v1/organization/<org name>/environment/<env name>/virtualhosts/default -d’@./newvh.xml -H "Content-Type:application/xml"

This does not create the alias for the virtual host.

Please suggest a solution to get this fixed.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Geethika,

Can you provide the output of the below curl command :

curl -u username:pwd -X GET 'http://mgmtserverIp:8080/v1/o/<Org_name>/e/<Env_Name>/virtualhosts/default .

Hi Suma

Here's the output -

{

  "hostAliases" : [ ],

  "interfaces" : [ ],

  "name" : "default",

  "port" : "9001"

}

Thanks

Hi Geetika,

Are you executing these curl commands in Management Server . The steps you followed are correct .

Follow these steps in management server :

1. Delete the existing VH

     curl -u userId:password  -X DELETE http://localhost:8080/v1/o/<Org_name>/e/<testname>/virtualhosts/default -v 

1. Execute the below command from the location where *.xml is created .

curl -u userId:password -X POST http://localhost:8080/v1/o/<Org_name>/e/<testname>/virtualhosts/ -d '@./*.xml' -H "Content-Type:application/xml"

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>

<VirtualHost name="default">

<HostAliases>

<HostAlias>FQDN of Router</HostAlias>

</HostAliases>

    <Interfaces/>

    <Port>Enter port details here</Port>

</VirtualHost>

Regards,

Suma
