Error description

• ITNM 3.8 FP5
  Solaris OS
  
  HopView URL are not working in multidomain.
  Error: Hop View URLs are not working in multidomain
  
  Customer is using multiple domains on the same itnm
  instance.Customer
  want to save the links from different hopviews in order to be
  accessed by different users via browsers.
   If the user specifies the
  seed using hostname, the first found in database, regardless of
  domain, is picked up.  If seed
  is entity ID, then it is fine because the ID is unique in each
  domain.
  
  as documented in 'Hop View URL parameters':
  http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/tivihelp/v8r1/topic/com
  .ibm.networkmanagerip.doc_3.8/itnm/ip/wip/admin/reference/nmip_a
  dm_connmaphopview.html
  
  Problem: Hop View ignores the 'domain' parameter and so it does
  not work in multidomain
  environments, where the 'domain' parameter is required.
  
  To replicate try the URL in multidomain:
  https://tip.company.net/ibm/console/ncp_topoviz/HopView.do?domai
  n=NCOMS2&type=layer2&layout=hierarchical&seed=a.b.c.d&hops=2&end
  Nodes=true
  
  and you get the 'Unable to find seed' error and the Hop View
  opens for wrong domain.

Problem conclusion

• Domain param was read in as domainMgrId, if there was no match,
  default to the first domain in the domain list.
  Change is to assume domain param is domain name, if it's not an
  integer (domain ID), and try to find the domain ID for this name
  

Temporary fix
