# IDOLHost

The host name or IP address of the IDOL Content component or Agentstore component that the system must connect to. You must also specify the component ACI port by using the IDOLACIPort parameter.

For a system where Type is set to `AnswerBank`, this parameter points to the Agentstore component that stores questions and question equivalence classes.

For a system where Type is set to `PassageExtractor`, this parameter points to the Content component that contains the data that you want to use to find answers.

For a system where Type is set to `FactBank`, and BackendType is set to `Content`, this parameter points to the Content component that contains the fact store. This parameter is not required if BackendType is set to `sqldb`.

DEPRECATED:

The IDOL Content component fact store is deprecated from Answer Server version 11.5. Micro Focus recommends that you use a SQL database instead.

The `Content` option is still available for existing implementations, but it might be incompatible with new functionality. The option might be deleted in future.

IMPORTANT:

If you set IDOLGSSServiceName, you must set `IDOLHost` to a fully qualified domain name (that is, you cannot use `localhost`, an IP address, or a host without the domain name, even if these values resolve to the correct server). Answer Server retrieves the Kerberos realm from the child server host name.
