Process Purpose

 

The Get Host Address process is used to get the host address from a given host profile (MCL-Net V4 or TCP/IP).

 

 

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

Host Name

Select a host profile from the drop-down list 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.

Variable

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

 

If required, click to attach any relevant notes to this process. Click it and enter your notes in the resulting text box. These notes will be displayed in the corresponding "Actions" tab or "Process" window (in the "Notes" field) and in the "Developer Report".

 

After filling in the required options, click to conclude or to abort the operation.

 

The added process is displayed in the corresponding "Actions" tab or "Process" window.

 

 

 

Use the right click in MCL-Designer's input boxes to access certain features regarding the input box's option as well as general actions such as "Copy"; "Paste"; "Search".

Ex: If you right-click the "Variable" input box (included in a "Conversion's" properties window), you are provided with the "Search..."and "Variable Select" options.

If you right-click another input box, it will provide other possibilities.
