Parameter documentation
Normally, all host names are queried using an operating system command
(see gw/netstat> ). But if this command is not
available or is not working, you can define all the host names in this
parameter. The command for gw/netstat> should then
be defined as an empty string.
See SAP Parameter Documentation for full SAP documentation for this profile parameter.
