uim installer auto opens uimhome url with null vs the ip/hostname

Products

• DX Unified Infrastructure Management (Nimsoft / UIM)

Issue/Introduction

UIM installer completes but installer auto opens the web browser with the following url for the UIM Home page: http://null/uimhome/installers.jsp 

The url is generated with null value instead of the primary hub IP. Note that the url works fine if the null is replaced with the UIM Hostname or IP

Why is is the UIM Home page generated with a null value vs the IP?

Environment

Any UIM installer version

Cause

During the installation of UIM, for later use, UIM installer resolves the primary host IP address and stores it as a shortcut file name as uimserver_home_http.url in the path <UIM install location>\Nimsoft\ install\url

After completion of installation, the installer uses the same file from the above path to auto launch the uimhome page and the url displays a null value anytime the installer is unable to resolve Primary host ip properly.

Resolution

The web browser opening with the null value during install can be ignored as long as the UIM Home url opens fine when 'null' is replaced with the host's IP.
