Change the URL Name of your Site
This page explains how to change the Site URL Name for a model Site in Evolve.
The Site URL Name is the part of the URL which is specific to a particular site.
For Dynamic Sites this is:
http://<server-name>/<evolve-IIS-site-name>/sites/<site-url-name>/
For Static Sites, this is:
http://<server-name>/<evolve-IIS-site-name>/statics/<site-url-name>/
Change the Site URL Name for a Dynamic Site
To change the Site URL Name for a Dynamic Site:
1. In Evolve Designer, navigate to the Deployments > [server-name] > Model node
2. Change the Site URL Name to the new name you want to use, ensuring the text is lower case, and has no spaces or special characters
3. Publish the Site
The Site is Published, is displayed on the Evolve Multi-Sites page, and can be accessed directly at the new URL.
Change the Site URL Name for a Static Site
To change the Site URL Name for a Static Site:
1.In Evolve Designer, navigate to the Deployments > [server-name] > Model node
2.Change the Site URL Name to the new name you want to use, ensuring the text is lower case, and has no spaces or special characters
3.Publish the Site
The Site is Published and can be accessed directly at the new URL.
|
|
When you publish the Site with a changed Site URL Name, the original Site still exists and can still be accessed via the original URL. To completely remove the original Site, you must: 1. On the Evolve server machine, browse to <your-evolve-install-path>\Data\Statics 2. Delete the folder named as your original Site URL Name. |

Configure TLS 1.2 (Transport Layer Security)
Configure TLS 1.2 (Transport Layer Security)
In line with industry security recommendations the erwin CW products now support Transport Layer Security version 1.2. This security layer is a low level network encryption protocol which can optionally be used between applications and MS SQL Server. Many large organizations have been disabling TLS1.0 and TLS1.1 in favor of the newer TLS1.2, as it has certain improvements that make it less susceptable to security vulnerabilities.
In order to configure erwin EA/BP for TLS1.2 there are some steps required that go beyond a simple install. This document will guide you through these steps.
1. Run the following Microsoft Installer “sqlncli.msi” which can be obtained from here
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=50402
for either x64 (64bit) or x86 (32bit) - as is approriate to your environment.
2. Set the following Entries in the registry. These can be copied into a file that is given the extension .reg and then run in windows, or downloaded with your erwin software.
Most of the entries are to disable TLS 1.0 and TLS1.1, then enable TLS1.2. The final entry is to configure erwin EA/BP to use the correct SQL Server client.

After changing the registry settings, it may be necessary to reboot your machine. |
3. Once this has completed, start "erwin EA/BP Modeler" and when the logon dialog appears click the “Edit” button.
This will display all the available connections.
4. Click on the connection you want to use and "Edit" it.
5. Next to the server name there will be a check box to enable the use of TLS1.2.
Check this box and press "OK" to close the dialogs.
6. Having made these changes the erwin EA/BP applications should run as normal.
Troubleshooting:
On some operating systems this additional msi file may also be required to get the application to run successfully
Run the following Microsoft Installer “msoledbsql_18.1.0.0_x64.msi” which can be obtained from here
