Configuring Alternative Symbolic URLs

To use an alternative symbolic URL, define the additional symbolic URL at the Symbolic URL Administration view, and specify the following parameter in the [DataSources] section of the application’s configuration file:

SymbolicURLSuffix. The value of this parameter is appended to the end of the name of the default symbolic URL to specify the name of the alternative symbolic URL.

For example, if the parameter SymbolicURLSuffix is set to _MyDemo in the application’s configuration file, and the default symbolic URL name is AccountNews, then the symbolic URL that is used when the application is executed is AccountNews_MyDemo. The URL value associated with the AccountNews_MyDemo symbolic URL in the Symbolic URL Administration page is used.

Note: When you define the alternative symbolic URL, its name must match the name of the existing symbolic URL with the value of the SymbolicURLSuffix parameter appended to it.
