GOAL:
Is there a hostname character size limit for Java associated with the AdminServer process?
GOAL:
Is there a hostname size limit when dealing with Java and OpenEdge?
GOAL:
Is there a hostname limit enforced when making use of the AdminServer?
GOAL:
Does the AdminServer impose any limits on hostname size?
GOAL:
How many characters can be used for the hostname when making use of the AdminServer?
GOAL:
Are there any OpenEdge imposed limits on hostname length when starting or stopping an AdminServer?
FACT(s) (Environment):
All Supported Operating Systems
Progress/OpenEdge Product Family
OpenEdge Category: Administrative
OpenEdge Category: Configuration
OpenEdge Server Technology Category: AdminServer
FIX:
There are no OpenEdge imposed limits with regards to the hostname length when dealing with the AdminServer.
In the event that no host is specified, the localhost is resolved with the following java call:
InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostName()
The rmiregistry is created with the supplied hostname/port with the following java command (localhost is used when no hostname specified):
LocateRegistry.getRegistry(host,port)
There may be limits associated with hostname length that are imposed by the Operating System itself. An example of this is Windows. It appears based on the following URL that there is a limit of 15 characters. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/909264/en-us.
For Linux, look for HOST_NAME_MAX in the header /usr/include.bits.local_lim.h.
