Aliases

The clients and other daemons that need to connect to a specific Object Server use aliases. Aliases are easily identifiable names you can create for object manager Slump names. You can create aliases for a specific object manager or a group of object managers. These aliases can be used in place of an object manager name while configuring the CA SDM processes. Aliases are optional in CA SDM.

Before you create aliases, do the following activities:

• Define object managers and add some to groups.

  For example, domsrvr:group1:11, domsrvr:seattle:12, domsrvr:seattle:13, domsrvr:Tacoma:11.

• Define web engines and assign aliases to the web engines.
• Enter a regular expression that matches a group of object managers.

  For example, you want the Java clients that are located in Washington to connect to object managers located in Seattle. You connect them to /domsrvr:seattle.*. Or, you can define an alias named SEATTLE and can assign it the value /domsrvr:seattle.*.
