Host name or IP address

The NETNAME parameter is the host name or host IP address of the host machine on which the CICS® server is running.

NETNAME=<name|number>
Description
Set the value to the host name or host IP address. Host names are mapped to IP addresses by either the DNS server or in the hosts system file. For Windows, the hosts system file is in the %windir%\system32\drivers\etc directory. For UNIX, the hosts system file is in the /etc directory. Specifying a host name in the NETNAME parameter can prevent issues if the host IP address changes.

This parameter is in the SERVER section of the configuration file.

The host machine might cache the contents of the hosts system file and require manual intervention or a system restart to refresh the cache. See the documentation for the operating system for further information.

Default value
There is no default value for this parameter.
Configuration Tool
In the Configuration Tool, you can set the value of NETNAME in the Hostname or IP address field in the Server connection page. This page can be accessed by selecting an existing server in the CICS Servers section of the CICS Transaction Gateway pane or by creating a server definition. To create a server definition, click Options > New Server or click the New Server icon.
