6.4 Setting JP1-specific hosts information

JP1/Base can keep its own set of hosts information, allowing it to perform name resolution independently of the OS. This dedicated hosts information is called jp1hosts information and jp1hosts2 information.

By setting jp1hosts or jp1hosts2 information, JP1/Base can communicate using an IP address that does not correspond to a physical or logical host name on the destination host. For example, in an operating system that cannot natively resolve one host name to multiple IP addresses, you can define jp1hosts or jp1hosts2 information that allows JP1/Base to resolve multiple IP addresses from a host name.

Using jp1hosts2 information enables you to also manage IP address resolution for the event service in an integrated fashion. Also, when you use jp1hosts2 information, restart of the services is not required when a connection destination is added. Therefore, we recommend that you use jp1hosts2 information when you establish a new environment.

Note that jp1hosts information is supported in JP1/Base version 06-71 or later, and jp1hosts2 information is supported in JP1/Base 10-00 or later.
