I saw this exception earlier: -
hostName: hostName is not a properly formed host name.
when creating a WAS profile: -
/opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/bin/manageprofiles.sh -create -templatePath /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profileTemplates/management -profileName Dmgr01 -nodeName Dmgr -isDefault -enableAdminSecurity true -adminUserName wasadmin -adminPassword passw0rd
Initially I was stumped, as the command doesn't specify a hostname.
Then I thought about it …..
…. and looked at the hostname of my server: -
hostname
mta2015_1.uk.ibm.com
and remembered that, whilst instantiating a VM in the cloud earlier, I was told off for using a hostname containing an underscore character.
I changed the hostname to be more in keeping with my target - IBM ODM 8.7 i.e. to: -
and, quelle surprise, all is now well :-)
