ESSBASESERVERHOSTNAME

The ESSBASESERVERHOSTNAME configuration setting specifies the computer host name of the Essbase Agent and Essbase Server, and where an Essbase application process runs.

Syntax

ESSBASESERVERHOSTNAME  server_name

where server_name is the name of the host where your Essbase application process runs. ESSBASESERVERHOSTNAME uses the current server by default.

Description

ESSBASESERVERHOSTNAME identifies the host where your Essbase application process runs. The value must be a valid host name and must map to an IP address assigned to the computer.

Notes

  • You can use ESSBASESERVERHOSTNAME to restrict the network interface provider on which Essbase and the applications listen when multiple instances are running on the same host.

  • The behavior of the client is not necessarily tied to this configuration setting. For example, the MaxL client always uses localhost as the default, irrespective of this configuration setting.

  • In Report Writer, you can display ESSBASESERVERHOSTNAME values on a report. For example, you can use the *MACHINE replacement value in the Report Writer {Mask} command to display the ESSBASESERVERHOSTNAME value as the server name.

  • In a clustered environment, the IP address must be accessible from both nodes of the cluster.
