Re: Configuring remote tcp connections.

Hi, here is excerpt from "IDS Administrator's Reference Guide." ------- You can specify a NETTYPE parameter for each protocol that you want the database server to use. The following example illustrates NETTYPE parameters for two types of connections to the database server: a shared memory connection for local clients, and a network connection that uses sockets: NETTYPE ipcshm,3,,CPU NETTYPE soctcp,,20,NET The NETTYPE parameter for the shared-memory connection (ipcshm) specifies three poll threads to run in CPU virtual processors. The number of connections is not specified, so it is set to 50. The NETTYPE parameter for the sockets connection (soctcp) specifies that only 20 simultaneous connections are expected for this protocol and that one poll thread (because the number of poll threads is not specified) will run in a network virtual processor (in this case, NET). ------- For more details refer to NETTYPE configuration parameter in Admin guide. http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/epubs/pdf/25122680.pdf Regards, Nilesh -- Nilesh Ozarkar Informix Database Engineering, IBM Information Management Friday, November 04, 2005 2:28 PM To: informix-list@iiug.org cc: From: "Nuno Paquete" <nmp@ispgaya.pt> Subject: Re: Configuring remote tcp connections. Hi, I've got this line on my $ONCONFIG file: NETTYPE ipcshm,1,120,CPU # Configure Poll thread for nettype I need this line. How can I define other NETTYPE values? Can you show me an example of two distinct configurations? Regards, Nuno Paquete sending to informix-list

Hi, Thanks to all of you guys. Now I just have one more question: Do I have to install anything in the server so it can communicate using tcp connections, or I just need to change the configuration files? Best regards, Nuno Paquete

IDS and XPS - just configure. SE and OnLine - you must run sqlexecd too. -- Jonathan Leffler #include <disclaimer.h> Email: jleffler@earthlink.net, jleffler@us.ibm.com Guardian of DBD::Informix v2005.02 -- http://dbi.perl.org/
