Using hostname during installing Oracle SOA Suite

To ensure that the installer uses the local hostname, you have two options:

• Option 1: Start up the installer with the OUI_HOSTNAME parameter. This parameter specifies the hostname that you want to use.

E:\> setup.exe OUI_HOSTNAME=myhostname.mydomain.com

• Option 2: Before running the installer, add a line to the C:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file with the following format:

IP_address hostname.domainname hostname


This line should come after the localhost line in the file.
Replace IP_address with the loopback adapter's IP address. This should be a non-routable IP address.
Replace hostname and domainname with the appropriate values.


Example:10.10.10.10 mycomputer.mydomain.com mycomputer

If you have already installed Oracle Application Server, you can change the hostname after installation using the change IP/hostname procedures documented in the Oracle Application Server Administrator's Guide.
