A Host object represents the machine where the software runs. The software can either be anAxway Server, (an Axway product that you manage inAxway Composer), or an Application, (a software product that you can communicate with, but that you do not managein Axway Composer).
The Host object defines the operating system and local CommNetwork access. It can be shared across several Environments.
Via the Host object, you specify:
In addition, the Atlas tab displays all the Axway Servers that run on this Host.
You can perform all basic operations on Host objects.
This object does not follow the standard object life cycle. You cannot send this object to Server.
Use the Communication tab to define the telecommunications network(s) for this Host. All existing CommNetworks defined in the repository that are compatible with the selected OS type of the Host are available.

You then complete the network-specific parameters for the CommNetwork you select.
For example:
When you configure a Axway Server that runs on this Host, you must add more network parameters specific to that Server.
You can add an unlimited number of CommNetworks to a Host. For example, if you created a CommNetwork called Internet, that uses the network type TCP/IP, you can then add as many CommNetworks to the Host as required, each based on the CommNetwork called Internet:
