Fully qualified domain name in EP 6.4 configuration

Hi guys,
I've got some problems with using fully qualified domain names (FQDN) while getting to Portal.
Having EP installed and running properly, I've installed, on my MS Windows 2003 Server (on which my EP is running), DNS to provide FQDN.
Until this my EP worked properly (I get to my portal main page using host name without FQDN - http://<host>:<port>/irj).
After installing DNS and configuring new domain my EP runs properly when I get via simple hostname, but I've noticed, that it isn't working properly, when I try to get via url with FQDN.
The FQDN is correctly recognized on sysop level (ping...) - the problem is surely in EP configuration.
The most common symptom is an empty HTTP page or a portal page containing some interface elements, but without content.
Who knows what I have to change in my EP configuration?
I will be thanful for any help.
Best regards,
Marcin

Hi Chung,
Thanks for advice.
Actually, in my case, problem was in IE internet settings.
The solution was adding host name to the host list in in "local intranet" setting (tabpage Security).

Error in Installing- System dosen't have fully qualified domain name.

When I try to install Java Enterprise System in my PC, I get the following error message and cannot proceed further:
System dosen't have fully qualified domain name.
Setup fully qualified domain name and then continue instalation.
Please help me to solve this problem.

Thanks.

Do you have DNS running on the net and configured right? Run "ipconfig" in a Windows XP command line to see if the DNS suffix is set. Another trick is to run "nslookup" in the command line and look up your system's IP address (wehich ipconfig will tell you.) If that doesn't get you a DNS name for the system, you need to fix that in the network connections dialogs.

BI 7.0 Java Add-in without fully qualified domain name

Hi
I have just installed the Java Add-in for BI 7.0, and now I am trying to set up BEx to work. I have run the template installer, but there seems to be an issue with server names vs. fully qualified domain names. The server name is currently in the format "server.domain", but I suspect that it should/must be "server.domain.com".
Is it possible to get full functionality without using fully qualified domain names (FQDN)? Is so, how can I acheive this?
Regards,
Thomas

This issue is no longer relevant for me. I still wish to find the solution tough, for future reference.

>how can I correct this alert?
Fix your DNS.
This non-fatal error is Apache's way of telling you that it can't work out the hostname of the machine it's running on.
It uses reverse DNS to determine this information. If you don't have a reverse DNS entry for your server's IP address, this is what you get.
Fix your DNS and the alert will go away, or just ignore it.

Ip address to fully qualified domain name

Dear friends, I am unable to get the correct fully qualified domain name from IP address. Please help. I have already spent more than a day searching for the solution on these forums and on google. So now only option remaining is help from you friends.
I think I need to explain my set up first.
The machine runs on Solaris8 & is part of corporate intranet. Java version 1.4.2. I am just a developer (cannot touch networking) and here is what I know about its network set up.
The machine has a network alias ("bluesky"). So when I access it thru telnet using VPN, the command line shows "bluesky" at the prompt. There are at least two domain names that lead to this machine. One is bluesky.XXX.com and another is somesubdomain.yyy.com.
I have a piece of existing Java code that produces the IP number of this
machine. I want to convert it to its domain name (either bluesky.xxx.com or the other one).
When I connect by VPN to the network and use nslookup against the IP on my XP laptop, it displays the full domain (somesubdomain.yyy.com). When I do the same thing after I join the intranet directly (not thru VPN), it again shows the full domain, but the different one bluesky.xxx.com.
Some of the code I tried:
Try 1:
String ip = "";//valid IP here
InetAddress ia = InetAddress.getByName(ip);
String hostname1 = ia.getCanonicalHostName();
String hostname2 = ia.getHostName();When I connect to intranet (without VPN) and run the above code on my laptop, hostname1 and hostname2 both generate "bluesky.xxx.com". This is what I want.
But when I run the code on the remote machine, both strings are only
"bluesky". When I run the code on my laptop after logging into the network using VPN, both produce the second fully qualified domain name. That would also be OK for me if I can get it on remote machine.
Try 2:
I added the following line before the above code (based on forum search).
System.setProperty("sun.net.spi.nameservice.provider.1", "dns,sun");The result was same as Try1.
Try 3:
InetAddress[] iaa = InetAddress.getAllByName(ip);
for(int i=0;i<iaa.length;i++){
System.out.println(iaa.getCanonicalHostName());
System.out.println(iaa[i].getHostName());
When ran on laptop, it iterates only once (I expected it to iterate twice) and produces bluesky.xxx.com for both println statements.
On remote machine, it again produces only "bluesky".
It's getting frustating. Please help. Thanks.

Following could be the reason
When you are running the InetAddress api's to get the domain name on your laptop (windows machine), It is not hitting the DNS server. It is just returning the domian name what is mention in the Laptop configuration. If you are making a security check based on that, then anyone can spoof up his domain name locally and get the desired domain.
When you run the application at some remote machine, it actually resolves the ip address with DNS server.
You may want to use the following code to hit DNS server all the time. But with this I have a issue. I am not able to get the domain when I am on VPN. I have to find the exact reason for this issue.
private static String domainFmReverseDNS(String hostIp) throws IOException
//Record opt = null;
Resolver res = new ExtendedResolver();
Name name = new Name(getReversedIP(hostIp)+ ".in-addr.arpa");
short type = Type.PTR;
short dclass = DClass.IN;
Record rec = Record.newRecord(name, type, dclass);
Message query = Message.newQuery(rec);
Message response = res.send(query);
Record[] answers = response.getSectionArray(Section.ANSWER);
if (answers.length == 0)
System.out.println("reverseDns did not find anything");
return ("NotFound");
else
System.out.println("reverseDns found the value :-)");
return answers[0].rdataToString();
private static String getReversedIP(String ip)
StringTokenizer st = new java.util.StringTokenizer(ip, ".");
String reversedIp=st.nextToken();
while ( st.hasMoreTokens())
reversedIp = st.nextToken()+"."+reversedIp;
return reversedIp;

Hi,
On your server run command ipconfig /all

Fully Qualified Domain Names (FQDN) error - How to get domain and extension

Hello,
Right click on the my computer and click properties and then go to the tab computer name .
there you will have full computer name and this should have your host name as well as the domain name.
to check the domain name click on change a new popup will open ther domain will be metntioned.
IF nothing is ther in the domain then add just .(dot) at the end of the computer name .
and save it and then put the same name in the ICM/host_name_full parameter in rz11 and try .
thanks

/etc/hosts Private Host Name Fully Qualified Domain Name does it matter?

During installation of 11gR1 on Windows 2003 the examples in the installation guide show adding the Private IP and host name to /etc/hosts
However they only add the short name, racnode1, not Fully qualified Domain Name (FQDN), racnode1.mycompany.com
e.g.
10.0.0.1 racnode1
10.0.0.2 racnode2
Later when installing the Clusterware it then expects to see the FQDN, racnode1.mycompany.com, of course you can modify this and remove the domain name and continue. OR go back and add the FQDN in /etc/hosts
e.g.
10.0.0.1 racnode1 racnode1.mycompany.com
10.0.0.2 racnode2 racnode2.mycompany.com
What is the best practice? Currently my company is just dropping the FQDN from the name during the install, my instinct is instead to add the FQDN to the /etc/host in the first place.
Does anyone have a recommendation or experience with either situation?
Will (using/ or not using) the FQDN cause me issues in the future?

If it's a problem, the assistent will tell you :-)
I don't think it's a problem.
Please mind that the first entry will be the name of the ip address, if it's not in DNS and a utility tries to get the name. (that's the reason 127.0.0.1 resolves to localhost.localdomain, it's the first entry in /etc/hosts)

Modifying Portal URL to use Fully Qualified Domain Name

Hi,
We have a portal that I can access now by using the URL 'invsrvr001:50000/irj/portal'. We would need the URL to use the fully qualified domain name such as 'invsrvr001.company.com:50000/irj/portal'. Towards that end we added the profile paramter 'icm/host_name_full' with parameter value 'invsrvr001.company.com' and restarted the server. After the we tried to login to the portal using 'invsrvr001.company.com:50000/irj/portal' but the system displayed 'The page cannot be displayed' error.
What else needs to be done so as to use the fully quailified domain name?
Do I name to change the computer name from 'INVSRVR001' to 'INVSRVR001.COMPANY.COM'?
Regards
ND

Ok, if you want to use FQDN including your domain extention (host.domain.com) you need to include your host into the domain.
Also your PDC should be doing the time of DNS server so check that.
This should solve your issue, please close the thread.

Juan

Hi Mirco,
additional to my first reply, open a shell window and type
<b>
ping <computername>
</b>
or
<b>
ping -a <ipaddress>
</b>
so you should get the full qualified name for the host.

Finding IP and fully qualified domain name.

Okay i have a java program taht runs on ubuntu the latest version. I got java 6.0 using apt-get install. oKay now i wrote a server socket program. But what it also should do is get the fully qualified domain name of the system and its ip address. So now my system is called "tools.myproject.com" okay. I dont have system registered under a domain or somethign but i specify it in my /etc/hosts file. since linux also uses the /etc/hosts file to resolve domain names. Now is there anyway in java that i can get this name. If not that then is there a way i can get the ip of this machine, which is not the loop back address. When i do the InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostaddress() method or whatever thats there in the documentation i get the loop back address thats specified thats 127.0.0.1 and the canonicalname for taht is some rubbish that i dont need. So can anyone help me out.
Also i found some NetworkInterface class from which i can get the IP Address of the machine. Also the Canonical Name i get from the IpAddress does it look at the /etc/hosts file or the DNS server?
Thanks!

Try this
InetAddress[] inet = InetAddress.getAllByName(InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostAddress());
for (int x = 0; x < inet.length; x++)
System.out.println
("IP " + (x + 1) + ": " + inet[x].toString().substring(1));
}

How to set-up Fully Qualified Domain Name in WIN2k3?

Dear Experts,
Admin, please rederict if this is the wrong forum.
I need to set up a FQDN for our one host demo system running on Windows Server 2k3. How do I set it up (without compromizing our system)? On this host we have ECC 6.0 and GRC running.
We don't have a registred domain.
Kind Regards,
Vit Vesely

Hi,
Set your domain name as FQDN (fully qualified domain name.)
1) start the transaction RZ10.
2) select INSTANCE Profile name where your server name is given.
3) Select Extended Maintenance.
4) Click on change button.
5) Change parameter icm/host_name_full to FQDN
6) Copy your settings with new version number.
7) Activate that version.
8) Restart your WAS (Transaction code SMICM -> Administration Menu).
Check that the following services are active in your ICF setting (transaction code SICF)
/default_host/sap/bc/bsp/sap
/default_host/sap/bc/bsp/sap/system
/default_host/sap/bc/bsp/sap/public/bc
/def ault_host/sap/public/bc
/default_host/sap/public/bc/ur
/default_host/sap/public/bsp/sap/public
/default_host/sap/public/bsp/sap/public/bc
/defaul t_host/sap/public/bsp/sap/system
/default_host/sap/public/bsp/sap/htmlb
Set Request Hanlder Class, add Standard Class provided by SAP to default\sap\bc\bsp\sap service. Right click on default\sap\bc\bsp\sap service service.
Now select display service, go to Handler Tag, and add the class CL_HTTP_EXT_BSP, which is a default HTTP request handler class.

Fully Qualified Domain Name - required ??

Hi,
We are implementing SAP in a 3 system landscape with AIX.
All these systems are not in a domain at the moment, but they are networked.
Is it completely necessary to have these systems in a Windows / Unix domain to run the systems? What basic settings would be necessary to go-live?
I have made changes in the /etc/hosts file to include domain (for example: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx gilsaped gilsaped.xxxxxxxxxxxx.com). What else is required to make our portal system URL to be called with the fully qualified domain name?
Thanks in advance for your help,

What else is required to make our portal system URL to be called with the fully qualified domain name?
Besides the hosts file entry you will also require a DNS entry.

The result was:
Ping request could not find host abcd. Please check the name

Fully Qualified Domain Name for Portal Server on Win XP

I'm trying to install the Portal Server (java_es_05Q1_portal-windows-x86) to a Win XP workstation to test my Kosmos portlets (http://labs.jboss.com/projects/kosmos).
I get the following error msg after selecting the features:
System doesn't have Fully Qualified Domain Name.
Setup Fully Qualified Domain Name and then continue installation.
What exactly am I supposed to configure under Win XP? (No /etc/hosts?!)
Thanks.
Aron

Hi!
Probably you could enter the hostname in c:/Windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts
(maybe the directory is called WINNT, I have no XP here)
