6.4.3 Behavior when both jp1hosts information and jp1hosts2 information are defined
This section describes how name resolution is performed by JP1/IM - Manager, JP1/AJS3 - Manager, and JP1/Software Distribution in an environment where both jp1hosts information and jp1hosts2 information are defined.
When a product for which JP1/Base is a prerequisite performs name resolution in an environment where both jp1hosts information and jp1hosts2 information are defined, the product references only one of the definitions. This means that even if the product cannot find a definition of the host name to be resolved in jp1hosts2 information, it does not reference jp1hosts information. Similarly, if the product cannot find a definition of the host name to be resolved in jp1hosts information, it does not reference jp1hosts2 information.
- Organization of this subsection
(1) Products that reference jp1hosts2 information (for example, JP1/IM - Manager and JP1/AJS3 - Manager)
A product that references jp1hosts2 information (for example JP1/IM - Manager and JP1/AJS3 - Manager), will reference jp1hosts2 information if you define jp1hosts2 information in an environment where jp1hosts information is defined. In this case, jp1hosts information is no longer referenced. If jp1hosts2 information is deleted, the product will reference jp1hosts information, which was originally defined.
In the sections that follow, an environment where specified jp1hosts information is ignored assumes an environment such as JP1/IM - Manager and JP1/AJS3 - Manager.
(2) Products that do not reference jp1hosts2 information (for example, JP1/Software Distribution)
Products such as JP1/Software Distribution that utilize user authentication functionality of JP1/Base do not reference jp1hosts2 information. Therefore, jp1hosts is referenced in an environment where both jp1hosts information and jp1hosts2 information are defined. Even if you define jp1hosts2 information in an environment where jp1hosts information is defined, jp1hosts definition is maintained in JP1/Software Distribution.
(3) Notes when both jp1hosts information and jp1hosts2 information are defined
In an environment where both jp1hosts information and jp1hosts2 information are defined, one of the definitions is referenced depending on the product. For details, check for each product.
When JP1-specific hosts information is used for name resolution, define jp1hosts information in JP1/Software Distribution, which does not reference jp1hosts2 information. To define jp1hosts information in an environment in which jp1hosts2 is defined, you need to specify the -f option when executing the jbshostsimport command. For details on the jbshostsimport command, see jbshostsimport in 15. Commands.
