Defining the Control-M Web Services API host name

The ctm.bpi.ifc.ws.publishHost property defines which host name should appear in the URL specified in the <soap:address location="..."/> tag in the WSDL published by Control-M Web Services API. The host should be accessible from the clients of the web service published by Control-M Web Services API.

To define the Control-M Web Services API host name:

1. Open the <CTM BPI IFC DIR>/conf/ctm.bpi.ifc.ws.properties file and set the following property:

   ctm.bpi.ifc.ws.publishHost={value}

   NOTE: In this statement, valid values for value are:

   • LongHostName: Defines the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the local host.
   • ShortHostName: Defines the short name of the local host. Default.
   • IpAddress: Defines the IP address of the local host.
   • Any other value: Defines the specific string that will be placed in the URL.

   EXAMPLE: localhost, virtual name of the host, another IP address, and so on.

2. Restart the Control-M Web Services API service or process for Windows or UNIX.
