This parameter can be used to specify three values: transport, host, and port. These values are named using the following syntax: transport://host:port.
You can define all or part of the hostURL. If you omit the host name, a dialog box prompts for a host when the session starts; if you omit the port or transport, Reflection automatically includes default values. The default value for the transport is determined by the transport parameter if one is specified. Otherwise, the transport and the port are both selected from Reflection program defaults. If you know which transport or port you need, however, it is recommended that you specify them in this parameter instead of depending on the defaults.
NOTE:The recommended method for configuring most settings is to use the dialog box equivalents where available. In these cases, parameters should be restricted to scripted sessions. The equivalent setting for the hostURL parameter is Host.
