Multiple identical server definitions are not permitted in the configuration file of the CICS Universal Client. The combination of fields that identify a server, and must therefore be unique is as follows:
Protocol
Fields in ctg.ini
TCP/IP
Hostname or IP address and Port.
This ensures that every connection that the CICS region and the network protocol see is represented by a unique server definition in the configuration file. If you have existing Client applications that use different server names to send requests to the same CICS region, you need to write a user exit to redirect requests. This is demonstrated in sample user exits ecix2.c and epix2.c; see <install_path>\samples\samples.txt.
