The host name is determined dynamically through this piece of script:

# Function to read the DNS Name
loadDNSName() {
_dnsname=..
_new=..
_hostname=..
    if [ "`uname`" = "AIX" ] ; then
        _new="-n"
    else
        _new=""
    fi
    _hostname=`uname -n | cut -d " " -f 1`
    _dnsname=`host ${_new} ${_hostname} | cut -d " " -f 1`
}

This seems to be failing on your system. Here is what I get when I execute uname and host on a Linux system:

linuxx86_64:116$ uname -n | cut -d " " -f 1

oelxdev06

linuxx86_64:116$ host oelxdev06 | cut -d " " -f 1

oelxdev06.bedford.progress.com

linuxx86_64:116$

What system are you running on and what do you see when executing these commands? Note for AIX, you need to add a –n when running host.

Thanks

Dave

deploySoap.sh fails over incorrect URL

Thread created by bronco

I'm trying to script the deployment of a wsm file to a PASOE instance. To do so I execute this from the CLI:

../bin/deploySOAP.sh fabvoxws.wsm fabvoxws

This fails. Looking at the logging I see:

Connecting SOAP transport at URI: http://Host:10010/fabvoxws/soap

And subsequently everthing fails. Now I didn't tell the PASOE instance that the URL is http://Host:...

How do I correct this? I know I can make an entry in /etc/hosts but that's not cricket...

uname -n | cut -d " " -f 1 gives me the correct hostname.

However host oelxdev06 | cut -d " " -f 1 returns indeed "Host"

How would I fix that?

That last statement obviously with the name returned by the first

There is a bug in PAS 1.1.0 UNIX where `host...` returns an error that is not caught and the default DNS name used.

Here is the updated function that is going into 11.5.1. You just need to replace the code after _hostname= with the lines below

# Function to read the DNS Name
loadDNSName() {
_dnsname=..
_new=..
_hostname=..
    if [ "`uname`" = "AIX" ] ; then
        _new="-n"
    else
        _new=""
    fi
    _hostname=`uname -n | cut -d " " -f 1`
    _host=`host ${_new} ${_hostname}`
    if [ $? = 0 ] ; then
        _dnsname=`echo $_host | cut -d " " -f 1`
    else
        _dnsname="127.0.0.1"
    fi
}

This is for deploySOAP. You will probably run into the same issue when executing tcman.sh. Here the function can be found in $CATALINA_HOME/bin/setenv.sh. The function should be

# Load the full DNS name for this server and make a java property out of if
#
loadDNSName () {
    if [ ! -z "${CATALINA_DEBUG}" ]; then echo "** setenv.sh updating JAVA_OPTS with DNS information "; fi
    if [ "`uname`" = "AIX" ] ; then
        _new="-n"
    else
        _new=""
    fi
    _hostname=`uname -n | cut -d " " -f 1`
    _host=`host ${_new} ${_hostname}`
    if [ $? = 0 ] ; then
        _dnsname=`echo $_host | cut -d " " -f 1`
    else
        _dnsname="127.0.0.1"
    fi
    JAVA_OPTS="${JAVA_OPTS} -Dpsc.as.host.name=\"${_hostname}\" -Dpsc.as.dns.name=\"${_dnsname}\" "
    export JAVA_OPTS
}

Let me know if this works out for you.

Thanks

Dave

Thanks! I'll give it a try tomorrow, the bar is closed now.

It works as far as deploying my .wsm file from the CLI. I suspect that instead of Host 127.0.0.1 is used. That too has a drawback. I suspect that what is displayed in OpenEdge explorer uses the sentenv.sh script as well. So all my links (on the webapp page) now have http://127.0.0.1/... links. Obviously I can tweak the host into the setenv.sh script but that doesnt' seem the way to go. I also have question about re-deploying SOAP definitions, but I'll make separate post for that.

Hi Bronco,

OK, 127.0.0.1 is not fully accurate for some uses. Would replicating the host's IP address into the 'DNS name' provide you better usability? Obviously it is a matter of what we choose to substitute when 'host' command returns an error because the host's name is not what its DNS registration is.

Goodmorning Michael,

Imho, ultimately the script should come up with something which is usable for external users (i.e. the OpenEdge Explorer users). So I guess the IP address of the machine would be good. Meanwhile I asked the SA over here to properly register the machine in the DNS and that helps as well.

One thing I noticed btw, is that the access URI for SOAP transport (when looking at an OEABL WebApp) hasn't got the correct URL as well. It refers to the host (an port) of OpenEdge Explorer and that's not the same thing as the URL on which the WSDL is requested from.

Anyway, I got a little further. Thanks.
