PRB: Changes required when catalog refresh done from BizDesk using FQDN (297109)

MORE INFORMATION

1. Modify the GetMachineBaseURL function so that it sets "sWebServerMachine" to the NonSecureHostName that is used for the Commerce site (in most cases the fully qualified domain name (FQDN)). The GetMachineBaseURL function can be found in the following location:

   c:\inetpub\wwwroot\Retail\include\global_siteconfig_lib.asp o

   in the applicable "include" directory of where your commerce site has been setup.

   -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
      ' GetMachineBaseURL
      '
      ' Description:
      '   Returns the base of the URLs for this application specifically for this server.
      ' Notes :
      '   If you wish to use BizDesk production refresh capabilities from a browser outside
      '   the LAN, then this function must be changed so that it returns a computer-specific
      '   URL that works outside the LAN (such as www1.test.com or www2.test.com).
      ' -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
   
   
   Function GetMachineBaseURL()
   Dim iPort, sPort, sWebServerMachine
   
      'sWebServerMachine = GetComputerName()
   sWebServerMachine = "www1.test.com"  ' substitute the fqdn for the machine here.
   ' We assume the port number is the same for all the Web servers on a Webfarm.
   iPort = iGetWebServerPort()
   
   If iPort <> 80 Then
   sPort = ":" & CStr(iPort)
   End If
       GetMachineBaseURL = "http://" 
       GetMachineBaseURL = GetMachineBaseURL & sWebServerMachine
       GetMachineBaseURL = GetMachineBaseURL & sPort
       
       If GetCommerceSiteInstallPoint() = VIRTUAL_DIRECTORY Then
   GetMachineBaseURL = GetMachineBaseURL & "/" & appframework.VirtualDirectory
       End If
   End Function
   					

   NOTE: It may be necessary to delete all entries from the following tables in the Retail_Commerce database and then perform an IISRESET from the command prompt. BizDesk replaces the deleted entries as appropriate:
   
   
   • CatalogCache_Virtual_Directory
   • TxVirtual_Directory
   • Virtual_Directory

Steps to Reproduce the Behavior

1. Modify the nonsecure HostName of both applications that are running under a site to a valid, fully qualified domain name that resolves to the IP address of the Web site on which the site is running.
2. Perform an IISReset.
3. In the BizDesk, open the Catalog Editor module, and then attempt to perform a refresh.
