Hi All,

I am using MAS 9.0 and set the system property of mxe.name=MASTST. Same name is showing all servers in Users application serversessions tab.

How can we update servername for each pod/server bundle to differentiate from which server user logged in?

Tried with setting JVM options with mxe.name="MASUITST" & mxe.name=MASUITST for server bundle in administration workspace. But both didn't work.

In MAS you should map the serverhost on maxsession to the serverhost in the serversession table to identify which pod a user is logged into. There is no way to control the name at a pod specific level. You could change away from MXServer in the server bundles but all the UI, all the MIF, etc. would still have a single name. Since users are all going to route to the same server bundle normally, I don't see how a different name would help.

Yes, we can set servername on bundle level by setting the property mxe.name with name of the server in bundle level properties not on JVM options.

It is showing same name for all pods present on that bundle. Like ui, mea, report & cron with different names.

Hi Hari,

I talked to the MAS development team about this and this is the answer:

When the bundle pod is deployed, environment variable $hostname is always instantiated to be the pod id. 

Add -Dmxe.name=${HOSTNAME}  as bundle jvm option would make the server name to be the pod id.

This did not work for me on manage 9.0,  the servername field in maxsession table shows literal '${HOSTNAME}' after adding -Dmxe.name=${HOSTNAME} to bundle jvm option.  So ${HOSTNAME} is not really instantiated.

Jiang, did you set the Additional Server Bundle Properties so that there is an entry Name=mxe.name and Value='your server name'?

Steve, I added -Dmxe.name=${HOSTNAME} to bundle jvm option per Mark Robbins suggestion.  Are you saying instead of jvm option, I need to add to Bundle level properties, an entry Name=mxe.name and Value='your server name'?  What would be correct value?  Ideally, we need pod name to be populated as we have multiple pods per server bundle. Would ${HOSTNAME} work in this place?
