14. Application Names and Prefixes

To help avoid clashes with routes across spaces in Cloud Foundry, a naming strategy to provide a random prefix to a deployed application is available and is enabled by default. The default configurations are overridable and the respective properties can be set via cf set-env commands.

For instance, if you’d like to disable the randmoization, you can override it through:

cf set-env dataflow-server SPRING_CLOUD_DEPLOYER_CLOUDFOUNDRY_STREAM_ENABLE_RANDOM_APP_NAME_PREFIX false
