How to change hostname for Thingworx Flow after installation (Windows only)
Hi,
If you need to change the used hostname at installation of Thingworx Flow, some manual changes should be done without re-installing Flow.
Basically, hostname for Flow should be changed in the nginx configuration and in Flow modules configuration; whenever you see the hostname used at Flow installation, change it with the new hostname.
Change the following configurations after renaming the ThingWorx Flow server in Windows OS :
1. Stop Flow, Nginx and ThingWorx Tomcat services
2. Update C:\Program Files\ <nginx>\conf\conf.d\vhost-flow.conf
server_name : change hostname with new one
3. Update C:\Program Files (x86)\ <ThingWorxFlow>\modules\lookup\deploymentConfig.json
ENDPOINT : change hostname with new one
4. Update <ThingWorxFlow>\modules\oauth\deploymentConfig.json
UI_ENDPOINT : change hostname with new one
ENDPOINT : change hostname with new one
ENDPOINT : change hostname with new one
5. Update <ThingWorxFlow>\modules\trigger\deploymentConfig.json
DOMAIN : change hostname with new one
TRIGGER_HOST : change hostname with new one
TRIGGER_HOST : change hostname with new one
6. Update <ThingWorxFlow>\modules\ux\deploymentConfig.json
api_endpoint : change hostname with new one
view > oauth_server : change hostname with new one
service_api_endpoint : change hostname with new one
view > oauth_server : change hostname with new one
service_api_endpoint : change hostname with new one
If the ThingWorx Platform is installed on the Flow server :
enterprise > built > host + prefix_url : change hostname with new one
7. If the ThingWorx Platform is not installed on the Flow server:
- Stop Thingworx Tomcat service
- Update <ThingworxPlatform>\platform-settings.json
PlatformSettingsConfig > OrchestrationSettings > QueueHost : change flow hostname with new one
8. Restart the Thingworx, Flow and Nginx services
After these steps, Flow should be accessible with the new hostname:
https://new_hostname:port/Thingworx/Composer/apps/flow/
