Currently some of the REST endpoints return the HOSTServer name in the return payload. This feature is needed for all endpoints for the use in process automation and allowing the use of load-balancing, vip, etc.

  • This enhancement was added by Colin Bean for Bell. But Bell also wishes to have the ability/option to force REST to use the local Host. It is possible that the REST service installed on a server in data center 1 connects to the Host service installed on another computer in data center 2. Keep REST/Host traffic localized.

  • When using the following connection paramater in the JSON payload
    {"connectionParameters":{"draServerNameAndPort":"localhost:11192"}}
    REST returns the following "draServerAndPort": "localhost:11192"
    Bell would like to see the actual server name returned instead of "localhost:11192".

    "draServerAndPort": "iMac-DRA:11192" when using the connection paramater and pointing to the localhost.

  • We support the ability to return the Host name in a REST call in DRA 9.2. We do not de-reference the Local Host value.
