AppServer

String ([transport-type,]interface)

0.0.0.0

Purpose

The AppServer parameter specifies the TCP/IP communications address (for example, 143.57.055.259) or the name of application server (for example, mycomputer1a). By default, when the application server starts up, it listens for network connections from presentation clients on all network interface cards enabled on the host.

The values for the optional transport‑type variable can be TcpIP, TcpIPv4, TcpIPv6, or TcpIPAny. The transport‑type literal value is case‑insensitive.

If you do not specify a transport‑type, the default value is TcpIP, which is a synonym for TcpIPV4. TcpIPv4 provides IP version 4 connections only. TcpIPv6 provides IP version 6 connections only. TcpIPAny supports IP version 6 or IP version 4 connections. Depending on your requirements, you can configure a single application server to use TcpIPAny, or you can set up two application servers so that one supports TcpIPV4 and the other TcpIPV6.

You can specify the interface value as a host name or an IP address. If you use an IP address, the address must be in an appropriate format for the selected transport‑type value.

Presentation client connection balancing cannot be enabled if the ExternalAppServerAndPort parameter or its value is not specified and the AppServer parameter or its value is not specified or the value is the default value of 0.0.0.0.

If the value of the AppServer parameter is a Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN), it must uniquely identify the machine on which the application server is running. It must not resolve to multiple addresses that point to other machines (otherwise presentation client connection balancing is defeated).

Because of the way that JADE parses the command line, enclose the argument values in quote marks if you specify appServer="transport‑type,interface" on the command line.

The application server node is next initialized.

Hint

Use this parameter to restrict the connections to one specific network interface card on which the application server listens.
