A Remote Domain configuration can provide a way to connect to the local Domain itself. This is called a Local Alias or a Loopback connection.
This alias is created according to a regular Remote Domain configuration. The server names, main or backup, must be localhost* or the same name as the computer where the Domain is executing so that it works locally. In this case, for this configuration to work in E3 Studio, in the Domain File field inform the local path of the DOM file, such as c:\path\file.dom.
NOTES |
•Changing local aliases with an executing Domain IS NOT supported. What happens is that, if the Domain is executing, Links already resolved as local always remain local, even if the alias is reconfigured to actually connect to a remote machine. To bypass this situation, restart the Domain •Loopback connections are not shown on E3 Admin's Licenses window or Statistics, nor need Remote Domain licenses to work •* For the localhost name to work, it must be configured to point to IP address 127.0.0.1, which is Windows default configuration •For more information about Remote Domains tab configuration, please check topic Connection Configurations |
