In the below code, what is the variable "target_name" denoting on the PIM password when you are checking it out?

erpm_host = 'https://13.65.145.0'  # ERPM Web Service
checkout_comment = 'Checking out a password'  # A comment to use when checking out the key
target_name = 'dfw-vpd-pamapp1'

what is the variable "target_name" denoting

It's the host whose password you want to check out.
