When you add, edit, or delete an HTTP URL alias property in a service, the property is automatically updated on the Integration Server when the service is saved.

Integration Server stores the HTTP URL alias information in the node.ndf file of the service. Because the property is encoded in the node.ndf file, it is propagated across servers through package replication.

URL aliases for services are saved in memory on the Integration Server. The server checks for URL aliases before processing the client HTTP requests.

When specifying the alias URL, you must spell it exactly as it is defined on the server. Alias URLs are case sensitive.

URL alias strings must be unique on the server. The server cannot register a URL alias if one already exists with the same name on the server, even if it belongs to a different package.

To troubleshoot alias URLs that cannot register, open the Package > Management > PackageName screen in the Integration Server Administrator and view the information under Load Warnings. The alias URLs that generated warnings when the package was installed are displayed here with a brief explanation.
