Process Purpose

The "Get Host Address" process is used to get the host address from a given host profile that is used to communicate data to a web service (web service domain).

When you add a process, you are required to define its settings. This occurs in the process's properties window which is displayed automatically after having added the "Get Host Address" process.

If any subsequent edition is required, double-click the process to open its properties window and enter the necessary modifications.

Fill in the following options:

Host

Select a host profile from the drop-down OR click to create a new host profile or edit an existing one. See To Create a Host Profile or To Edit a Host Profile.

As an alternative, you can use a variable to define the Host Name (use the "Variable Select" option that is accessed if you right-click this box).

Variable

Click to select the variable that will receive the host IP address. See To Select/Create a Variable.
