Starting Essbase on Ports Qualified by Host Names

You can specify the host name to which Essbase binds by using the ESSBASESERVERHOSTNAME configuration setting in essbase.cfg. If no host name is specified, Essbase uses a system API to get the host name. Using host names enables you to partition network traffic on all the network interfaces of a computer. This is useful on computers with single network cards and those with multiple NIC cards.
