How to change hostname for Thingworx Flow after installation (Windows only)

No ratings

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

    

5. Update <ThingWorxFlow>\modules\trigger\deploymentConfig.json
DOMAIN : 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

    

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:
  1. Stop Thingworx Tomcat service
  2. 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/

Thank you for the article.

 

It's always good to have such information at hand, because, as is often the case, all of a sudden, someone wants you to have it done yesterday.

 

One more thought regarding this... I couldn't find a similar article in the Knowledge Base. Don't really care, but as a matter of form, I believe it would be a good idea to have one there.
