Creating a Host Environment
A host environment (HE) defines the network and hardware characteristics of the non-Windows host that will initiate requests to the Windows operating system. For example, a host that uses the TCP/IP protocol to initiate requests to Windows is identified to host-initiated processing (HIP) through an HE that contains the IP address of the host and the code page that the host uses to represent its data.
You can use the New Host Environment Wizard to create a new host environment.
