Hello Joe,

Which URL should the Server Base URL be set to?

The Server Base URL is a single setting stored in the repository. So it is the same for the active and passive instance (there is no separate value for the passive instance).

The setting is used to build links to the server in workflow notifications, and it is exposed to models as V_SERVER_BASE_URL.

It should therefore be the URL that the people clicking those links can actually reach.

This is not necessarily the "active" one by definition:

• If end users work on the active deployment, set it to the active URL (dev-semarchy-admin.xyz.com).
• If the active deployment is used for administration or design only, and users work on the other one, set it to the URL users open.
• If the two deployments form a failover pair, where one serves and the other stands by, the setting needs to follow whichever one is serving. You can either update it as a step in your switchover procedure, or set it to a stable hostname that always routes to the live deployment, which avoids the manual step.

Is a restart needed after changing it?

No, it is not needed.

But please note that for variable values, they are cached per user session.

Everything is detailed in the documentation.

Users who are already logged in may see the previous value for up to 30 minutes after the change.

New sessions pick up the new value straight away, and refreshing the application applies it sooner.

Suggested check: after any change, trigger a workflow notification and confirm that the link shows the expected URL.

Best regards,

Alexia
