How is the VSE server hostname determined as reported by the logs.

Products

• CA Application Test
• Service Virtualization

Issue/Introduction

The logs show the following URL for the VSE server:
tcp:://xx.xx.xx.xx.mydomain.com:2013/VSE

Where does this hostname (xx.xx.xx.xx) come from and can I change this to the actual hostname.

Environment

All supported DevTest releases.

Cause

N/A

Resolution

A hostname of this format is most likely coming from DNS.

To confirm this run:
nslookup xx.xx.xx.xx

A different name can configured by adding the following to .vmoptions for VSE:
-Dlisa.vseName=tcp://myserver.mydomain.com:2013/VSE

or by adding the following to local.properties: 
lisa.vseName=tcp://myserver.mydomain.com:2013/VSE

To override DNS, it is also possible to configure /etc/hosts with the IP address and the desired hostname.
