Portal Alias URL Redirect

[Former Member]

Hello,

i have a little problem to solve in my company. We have updated our SAP NetWeaver Portal 4 months ago. Bevore the update there was the possibility to use an alias in webbrowser to start the portal. When the alias typed in you got redirected to portal/domain/irj/portal. Today you get redirected to portal/irj/portal. When you type in portal.domain you get redirected to portal/domain/irj/portal

The problem ist that we get some problems with applications that requirred a full qualified dns name and the majority of our employees use the alias portal to start the portal.

The DNS Entries are:

portal --> server.domain

portal.domain -->server.domain

There is no Web-Dispatcher running.

I think there is/was some settings in the AS Java or the ISS of the Windows Server.

The question is: What is to do to get the full qualified dns name by typing "portal" at the webbrowser?

If there were problems in understanding i will do my best to support.

Many Thanks

Hi,

many thanks to all repliers. We solved the problem by add the alias in Service HTTP Provider in the Visual Administrator.

You can also check the configuration of the SAP Web Dispatcher from the command line using

sapwebdisp pf=<profil> -checkconfig out put will give you return code for 0 for errors, 1 for warnings,

Hi,

Please contact the respective windows administrator to add dns/wins entries in the dns/wins servers.

So that the name will be resolved to the respective FQDN.
