# UseEngineAlias

Set this parameter to `true` to allow Distributed Action Handler to identify child servers by aliases, rather than server IDs.

Type: | Boolean
Default: | False
Required: | No
Configuration Section: | Server
Example: | `UseEngineAlias=True` If this parameter is set to `TRUE`, the child servers must be configured in the `[IDOLServerN]` section or the `[DistributedEngineN]` section with each server having its own section, and an alias of the server must be specified in this section using the Name parameter: `[DistributionIDOLServers] Number=2 [IDOLServer0] Host=localhost Port=9000 Type=IDOL Name=childserver1 [IDOLServer1] Host=1.23.45.6 Port=9000 Type=IDOL Name=childserver2` Or: `[Server] DistributedEngines=2 [DistributedEngine0] Host=localhost Port=9000 Type=IDOL Name=childserver1 [DistributedEngine1] Host=1.23.45.6 Port=9000 Type=IDOL Name=childserver2`
