Defining an ERP connection to a local/private server

Applies to:

• Velixo NX
• Velixo Classic
• Acumatica, CEGID, Haufe x360, JAMIS Prime, MYOB Acumatica

Overview

When defining a connection to the ERP, this is done with a secure, fully qualified domain name (FQDN):

Velixo Classic

Velixo NX

Typically, this information can be found by copying the URL used to access the ERP:

However, if the ERP is hosted on a local server, the URL may not appear in the browser as a FQDN:

This abbreviated name cannot be used with a Velixo license.  We need to find the corresponding fully qualified domain name.

Finding the Fully Qualified Domain Name

Even when running the ERP locally, it will still have a local domain name that we can find and use (instructions for finding this information with can be found here: https://gkaccess.com/whats-my-computers-domain-name)

In the following example, after following the instructions in the link, we can see that the domain is cc.local:

Windows 10

Windows 11

With the server named acumatica (as shown in the browser), it would be accessible using acumatica.cc.local as well.

Assuming that the FQDN is accessible through secure connection (a requirement for a Velixo connection), this FQDN can be added to a Velixo license and then be used with the Velixo Connection Manager.
