Application notes for FactoryTalk Transaction Manager Appendix D
To resolve an IP address in a Windows Workgroup:
If you are working in a Windows Workgroup, perform the following
steps:
1. Go to <Windows>\Systems32\Drivers\Etc.
2. Open the Hosts file in a text editor.
3. Type a host to ID mapping for each computer that is running
FactoryTalk Transaction Manager.
4. Save the file.
5. At the command prompt, type:
ping <host name for the computer>
For example:
ping FactoryTalk Transaction
ManagerServerA
6. View the output of this operation and verify that the IP
address that is displayed matches the IP address that you used
in your previous FactoryTalk Transaction Manager
configuration.
After renaming a computer that FactoryTalk Transaction Manager
is running on and adding a Configuration Server with the new
computer name, the old computer name may continue to appear in
the Configuration tree with a red slash. This condition occurs
because the old computer name is no longer available on the
network.
As a workaround, perform the following steps:
• In FactoryTalk Transaction Manager, right-click the
configuration server that you want to remove, and then click
Delete Configuration Server.

Server computer from
