Create an A host for WorkZone Content Server

It is a prerequisite for the installation to create an A host name for WorkZone Content Server.

A host naming

The A host name that you define must contain the ODBC data source name (DSN) as the first part of the A host name. For example, if you have a DSN called DB01 and your web server is called SJWEB01, you must define an A host name for SJWEB01 called DB01.

Create the A host

1. Log on to the Domain Name Server (DNS), open DNS Manager.



2. Expand Forward Lookup Zones and then right-click on a domain, in this example lmdom.local, and then select New Host (A or AAAA).
3. Enter the name of the database in the Name field. The database name must be the same as the one you will select later during installation of WorkZone Content Server.
4. In the IP address field, enter the IP address of the web server.
