The ENDPOINT Object
The ENDPOINT Object
The ENDPOINT object type represents a network interface the NonStop agent process
uses to accept manager requests and return responses. The attributes of the
ENDPOINT object identify:
•
The name of the TCP/IP process through which the NonStop agent can be
reached by other entities on the network (NETWORK attribute)
•
The Internet addresses (TCP/IP subnet addresses) by which the NonStop agent is
known to other entities on the network (HOSTADDR attribute)
The components of a NonStop agent configuration represented by the ENDPOINT
object type and its attributes are highlighted in bold in Figure 4-5.
Naming Conventions: ENDPOINT Object
You assign a unique name to each request/response connection being used by a given
NonStop agent process. The name consists of:
•
The name of the PROCESS object that identifies the NonStop agent process being
served by the request/response connection
•
A period (.)
•
A pound sign (#)
•
A logical identifier representing the ENDPOINT object definition
