Orbix Interview Question:

How you can configure an Orbix domain to use fully qualified host names rather than short host names or IP addresses?

Submitted by: Administrator

When running itconfigure and creating the Orbix domain in non-GUI mode use the "-hostnamePolicy" parameter to specify the address mode policy for IORs. The hostnamePolicy value can be one of the following:
ip (IP addresses)
localhost ('localhost'),
localhost_ip ('127.0.0.1'),
long (fully qualified hostname),
short (unqualified hostname-the default).

When running itconfigure and creating the Orbix domain in GUI mode use the "Address Mode Policy for Object References" setting in the first step (Domain Defaults) of itconfigure one of the above values can be selected.
Use the hostnamePolicy "long" for generating fully qualified hostnames in IORs.
