I finally got this to work. After added all the servers to out Mid-Tier Config page. I am able to hit each testing server with a unique URL. No need for special jsp pages or index.html redirectors, etc.
Instead of using the url format ARSERVERNAME for TESTSERVER http://MIDTIERSERVER/arsys/shared/login.jsp?goto=URL&server=OUR_ARSERVERNAME I ended up using the following syntax http://MIDTIERSERVER/arsys/forms/OUR_ARSERVERNAME/OUR_Custom:Home_Page It is works perfectly. No need to develop other pages to maintain outside of Mid-Tier, Java or Tomcat.

The bulk of it is a response redirect We entered all the AR Servers on the Mid-Tier Config page. We then created an asp file and named each for the AR Server like this ARServer_Name.asp It would be a shorted name of the entire AR Server. Instead of a full AR Server name for the asp file it would be something like t123.arp which would be our test123 AR Server, for example. Then inside the asp file we state it out like: <%language="vbscript" %> <% response.redirect "/arsys/forms/ARSERVER_NAME_HERE/CUSTOM:Home_Page" %> <html> <head> <meta HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" Content="text/html; charset=Windows-1252"> Some other html page title, some likes to help pages, some error messages if error was encountered, etc. Just basic html programming. The ARSERVER_NAME_HERE found on the response.redirect line would match the corresponding AR Server listed on the Mid-Tier Config page. Then when the user enters the URL like this it would redirect them to the correct AR Server. http://mid-tier_server_Name/t123.asp Not must to it. I am thinking we can do something very similar with jsp pages.

ServletExec and Tomcat are 'the same' from the perspective that they are both JSP Engines...so Mid-Tier can run in them....but of course ASP can only run on IIS...so if you can tell us what the ASP Pages were actually doing, someone may be able to help you translate those to JSP pages to help out.

We do not have IIS or any other Web Server installed or running on the Mid-Tier server. Per BMC Tech Support we were told that Tomcat will act as the Web Server. We used to have the 7.1 Mid-Tier installed on another server with ServletExec and was able to connect that Mid-Tier to as many AR Servers as we wanted by creating asp pages for each AR Server and then adding that server to the Mid-Tier Server List. What I am hoping to discover, with your help, a way to do that on our current 7.6.04 Mid-Tier using the default installed Tomcat. I have searched all the provided documents on BMC, their KB and even tried Google but no luck. I was hoping someone on here has done this or is it possible to do this? If so how is it done?
