It is because someone at BMC hard coded dummy.host.com into the server binary files. I am guessing that some junior programmer put it in some shared library as a temporary fix for something and never got back to replace it with a call to find the current domain when they needed FQDN somewhere.
If you want to see you can go to the bin directory for the ARS system and do a grep grep "dummy.host.com" * On my 7.6.04 SP3 201201302357 I find 26 matches. I see the same error from time to time usually when accessing the serveradmin plugin.

Also, this affects the report selection from table, loading each line. Resolution: add <server>.dummy.host.com to the /etc/host file. I'm trying to understand, why the application is looking for dummy.host.com. Can anyone assist? hopefully, a solution that allows us to remove the entry from etc/host.
