Specifying the Remote System

When using TCP/IP, the remote system can be specified in different ways. For example, you can use the following forms:

By host name:

REMOTE_SYSTEM=goodsys

By fully qualified domain name:

REMOTE_SYSTEM=goodsys.goodsite.com

By IP address:

REMOTE_SYSTEM=123.123.78.91

Using the IP address is the most efficient method to use when specifying a remote system location.

Note: The examples above use the REMOTE_SYSTEM parameter, but the usage also applies to REMOTE_SYSTEM_RF, REMOTE_SYSTEM_SJ, and REMOTE_SYSTEM_SR.
