The published_ipinitial_locator method locates the Parlay
gateway if the gateway vendor provides a host and a port where the
Internet Object Reference (IOR) or the Uniform Resource Locator (URL)
for its initial reference (IpInitial) object can be obtained.
Purpose
The default GatewayLocator connects
to the configured IP address and port using a socket and reads the
IOR or the URL string of the Parlay gateway initial reference (IpInitial).
This allows a gateway location server to be built and run outside
of a WebSphere process, and facilitates the integration of the Parlay
gateway with the Parlay Connector.
Parameters
- Gateway IpInitial publisher host
- This field specifies the server where the IOR or the URL for the
gateway IpInitial information is published. There is no default value
for this field. The value specified must be either the IP address
of the host or the fully qualified host name. Specify a value similar
to this example.
123.456.789.1

- Gateway IpInitial publisher port
- This field specifies the port number of the server where the IOR
or the URL for the gateway IpInitial information is published. The
port number must be the port number for the host specified in Gateway
IpInitial publisher host. There is no default value for this field.
Specify a value, for example 7111.
- Secondary gateway IpInitial publisher host
- This field specifies the secondary server where the IOR or the
URL for the gateway IpInitial information is published. There is no
default value for this field. The default locator software ignores
this field unless it is unable to obtain the gateway's IpInitial reference
using the values defined for Gateway IpInitial publisher host and
Gateway IpInitial publisher port. Custom software might ignore this
field or might use this field for some other purpose. The value specified
must be either the IP address of the host or the fully qualified host
name. Specify a value similar to this example.

- Secondary Gateway IpInitial publisher port
- This field specifies the port number of the secondary server where
the IOR or the URL for the gateway IpInitial information is published.
There is no default value for this field. The port number must be
the port number for the host specified in Secondary Gateway IpInitial
publisher host. The default locator software ignores this field unless
it is unable to obtain the gateway's IpInitial reference using the
values defined for Gateway IpInitial publisher host and Gateway IpInitial
publisher port. Custom software might ignore this field or might use
this field for some other purpose. Specify a value, for example 23104.
