Configure the IXIASOFT Output Generator host server properties

The components in the IXIA CCMS deployment connect to the CCMS Output Generator using CORBA. This procedure describes how to configure host server properties for the CCMS Output Generator so that other components can connect to it.

The CCMS Output Generator's CORBA properties file defines the name of the server that hosts the CCMS Output Generator as well as the CCMS Output Generator connection port. This is the server name and port that users will connect to.

To configure the CCMS Output Generator's host server properties:

Open the %OutputGenDir%/conf/corba.properties file.
Note: If this is the first time that you are installing the CCMS Output Generator, open the corba.properties.empty file and save it as corba.properties (remove the empty suffix).
The file looks as follows:
```
com.sun.CORBA.ORBServerHost=localhost
com.sun.CORBA.ORBServerPort=1500
```
Replace the default value, localhost, with the name and domain of the CCMS Output Generator server.
This name will be used by the other components (such as the IXIA CCMS Desktop) to connect to the CCMS Output Generator server and must be resolvable by all computers accessing the CCMS Output Generator.
For example:
```
com.sun.CORBA.ORBServerHost=ProdOutputGenerator.acme.com
```
Configure the CCMS Output Generator port.
For example:
```
com.sun.CORBA.ORBServerPort=1500
```
Note: The default port number is 1500, but you can set it to any value as long as it corresponds to a port number that is not used.
Save and close corba.properties.
