Host name or IP address

Based on the operation key (host name or IP address) used by the higher system, specify the address of the higher system. Specify it as follows.

• If the operation key is the host name, set the host name of the higher system (full name).
• If the higher system is an environment that uses a DNS server, set the fully qualified domain name (the host name followed by a period and domain name).
• If the higher system has multiple network adapters that are connected to the same segment, set the host name with the highest priority in the bind order set by the higher system OS as the higher connection target of the relay system.

Poll multiple higher systems

Specifies whether multiple higher systems are to be polled (multi-polling) when there are multiple job execution routes from the managing server. The default is that this check box is not selected. When this check box is selected, the Higher Systems button is enabled. Click this button to open the Specify Higher Systems dialog box. In this dialog box, specify settings such as the names and priority levels of the higher systems. Note that you must use the ID key for operations (host names or IP addresses) to specify the higher system names.

When a higher system other than the local system is specified as the system for ID group registration, and you change the higher system whose priority level is 1, the system for ID group registration is also changed to the new higher system that has priority level 1.

Note that when you specify the ID key for operations for the higher system names, they must all be either host names or IP addresses.

For details about the multi-polling function, see 6.4.1 Multi-polling environment for a relay system in the Description and Planning Guide.

Select the higher system that performs ID group registration. Select JP1/Software Distribution Manager, JP1/Software Distribution Client (relay system), or JP1/Software Distribution SubManager (JP1 Version 7i or earlier for Windows; JP1 Version 8 or earlier for Unix). Also specify the address of the higher system with the ID key for operations (host name or IP address) used by the higher system.
