Rename CMS name in Login Screen for CLUSTER

[MJRBIM]

BOE-XI (R2)
Cluster with Two (2) physical servers hosting all services.
Both Tomcat and IIS installed on both physical servers.

Don't want the end-users of InfoView to see/know the underlying server names (eg. BOE_SERVER_1 and BOE_SERVER_2) in the URL for the CMC / InfoView - or in the CMS Name on the login screens for those applications.

I assume that we can use some kind of DNS service in front of the website to mask that, but I don't know how we can "rename" it in the CMS name in Login Screen.

Anyone done this before...?

Thanks in Advance!

Do you have your cluster named? If so, you don't need a DNS service.

If you're using the .NET version of InfoView, this is a quick update to two the web.config files. In \Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 11.5\Web Content\web.config, set the cluster name in this key:

<!-- This is the name of the CMS that you would like to connect to, default %HOST%. WCS_NAME_SERVER-->
<add key="connection.cms" value="@ProdReports"/>

In D:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 11.5\Web Content\Enterprise115\InfoView\web.config, set the cluster name in this key:

<add key="cmsDefault" value="@ProdReports" />

There should be something similar in the web.xml files for the Java version (I'm not very familiar with them yet - we're moving to Java for our 3.1 upgrade.)
