Hostname or IP address

Enter the character or numeric TCP/IP identifier for the host on which the CICS® server is running. For example, cicssrv2.company.com (host name) or 192.113.36.200 (IP Address).

Host names are mapped to IP addresses either by the name server or in the hosts system file. It is better to use a host name in case the IP address changes.

The hosts system file is in the %windir%\system32\drivers\etc directory.

For details of the corresponding entry in the configuration file, see NETNAME (SERVER section of the configuration file).
