   '-HOSTNAME--=--remote_host_name-'   

Specifies the host name used by the TCP/IP stack on the remote end of the Enterprise Extender connection. The HOSTNAME you code may be qualified with its domain name. The local host must be able to perform TCP/IP name-to-address resolution, either by connectivity to a DNS name server, or by using a local host file such as HOSTS.SITEINFO or /etc/ipnodes. For more information see z/OS Communications Server: IP Configuration Guide. Furthermore, if the host name represents a z/OS® Communications Server APPN node (or NAT address associated with a firewall), the address returned must be a static VIPA address.
Note:
  1. Remote_host_name may be up to 64 characters in length.
  2. HOSTNAME and IPADDR are mutually exclusive; however, IPADDR is used if both are specified.
  3. HPR must equal YES if the PU is used for Enterprise Extender.
  4. See z/OS Communications Server: IP Configuration Guide for information about UNIX Systems Services security considerations and required security definitions.
