Modify hostname while automatically generating task-form in human wok-flow

Question

Hi,
I am creating one task form automatically, using the option available "create form -->Auto generate task form" in task file using jdev 11g. The form is good, but when I try to access this form in oracle BPM worklist, it gives me error "Unknown Host Description: Unable to locate the server named *servername.domain.com*. the server does not have a DNS entry. Perhaps there is a misspelling in the server name, or the server no longer exists. Double-check the name and try again."
Actually the case is, In our env, we can access the server by it's IP address only, and not by name. << this is due to some network or some other setup >>
like folllowing will work fine: http://10.239.5.80:7001/em.
but this one will give the same error as above: http://servername.domain.com:7001/em
I tried to create hostname entry in C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts, but of no help. Also, i tried to find from where this server name automatically comes up. so that i can change that to IP address. but no success yet.
Need some pointers to get going. thanks for your help.

Just posting What I have found about this issue.
If there is a need to change the target URL for any work-list task form, then follow below steps in SOA em console:
From the SOA Infrastructure Menu in em console:
1. Select home. ( i.e. click on SOA-INFRA link in left navigation.).
2. Select the Deployed Composites tab.
3. In the Composite section, select the specific SOA composite application.
4. Under soa-infra, select a specific SOA composite application.
5. Select the human task service component in the Component Metrics table.
6. Click Administration tab.
7. Set the HTTP Host and Port if it wasn't configured that way when you deployed. << At this step you can change the target URL>>.
thanks,
rps
