HOSTNAME Statement

HOSTNAME Statement

The HOSTNAME statement specifies an i5/OS host name that overrides the host name that PowerExchange retrieves from the TCP/IP Host table for communications with the PowerExchange Listener on i5/OS.
This statement pertains to an ethernet-type of environment in which an i5/OS server is configured to use multiple i5/OS host names and IP addresses. You might use this type of environment to improve performance when a high volume of transactions exists or to use different host names for different business functions. In this situation, the HOSTNAME statement is required.
i5/OS
LISTENER
No 
HOSTNAME=
host_name
For the
host_name
variable, enter a valid TCP/IP host name up to 64 characters in length. No default value is provided.
You can enter one HOSTNAME statement in the DBMOVER member in the CFG file on the i5/OS system. This statement can specify only one host name override.
Use the HOSTNAME statement when you want to start or connect to a PowerExchange Listener on i5/OS under a host name other than the one PowerExchange retrieves by means of a TCP/IP gethostname() call to the TCP/IP Host table and other than the one that the HOSTENT utility reports. PowerExchange tasks and utilities can then use the override host name to connect to the PowerExchange Listener on i5/OS to perform tasks such as fetching data or pinging the Listener. The specified host name is used in conjunction with the IP address in the LISTENER statement, provided that the IP address is not associated with the host name returned by the TCP/IP getshostname() call.
