The host name specified in the pdunit operand must be registered, together with the IP address, in the host's file at every client machine that accesses the HiRDB server. Use of DNS eliminates the need for registration in the hosts file, thereby eliminating the need for modifying the hosts file that is associated with registration and IP address changes.
Connection with a HiRDB server running on a host in a domain can be established by specifying the server machine's fully qualified domain name (FQDN) in PDHOST and PDFESHOST.
Table 25-1 lists the names that can be specified in the client environment definition.
Table 25-1 Names allowed in client environment definition
Name specified in client environment definition | Version 05-02 or earlier | Version 05-03 or later |

FQDN | ![]() | S* |
Figure 25-1 provides an example of a network configuration and definition for connecting to a HiRDB server with a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) specified.
