SharePoint creates a alternate Access Mapping (AAM) fallback mapping

SharePoint creates a alternate Access Mapping (AAM) alternate to map a SharePoint warehouse to a content database in SQL Server. These databases store all the data in the organization. An organization may require people outside the company to access a subset of this data. Like what.         Vendors may want to know if their invoices are being honoured. Another example is that in large enterprises, hourly workers may see different subsets of data from official employees.        This data is in the same content database. Appropriate schema classification and validation can provide two different URLs.

The end user enters the appropriate URL and is taken to the content associated with the URL. This is the meaning of AAMs. This article teaches you how to create a AAM and related knowledge.

3. A list of AAMs associated with the Web application is rendered.
4. Click Add Internal URLs.
