HOST-NAME

The name of a computer. The maximum length of a computer name can be 1024 bytes (non-Unicode application) or characters (Unicode application).

For Essbase failover clusters, you must use the URL-based Essbase Server name for the host name:

http[s]://host:port/aps/Essbase?clusterName=logicalName

For secure mode (SSL), the URL syntax is

http[s]://host:port/aps/Essbase?ClusterName=logicalName&SecureMODE=yesORno

For example,

https://myhost:13080/aps/Essbase?clustername=Essbase-Cluster1&SecureMODE=Yes

You can optionally use IP addresses in place of host names when creating, dropping, or altering partition definitions. For example: '127.0.0.1'.

If you are creating, altering, or dropping a partition to or from another agent on the same computer, see Specifying Port Numbers in Partition Host Names for more information.

If you are using host name aliases, see Using Host Name Aliases When Partitioning.

For information about partitioning in secure mode (SSL), see also Partitioning and SSL.

Leading or trailing spaces in the host name are illegal and will be trimmed off.
