    Thank you for taking the time to provide your ideas to IBM. We truly value our relationship with you and appreciate your willingness to share details about your experience, your recommendations, and ideas.

    IBM has evaluated the request and has determined that it cannot be implemented at this time or does not align with our current strategy or roadmap. Current best practice is to put hostnames in the /etc/hosts file - this is standard across the industry and we document it as such. Taking the hostname from IIM would not be best practice and could cause issues with other deployments that follow best practices.


    Thank you for bringing your ideas to us. If you have any additional feedback, thoughts or ideas, or if there is anything else I can do, please do not hesitate to reply to this message to continue the conversation.
