Re: Multiple NETTYPE Definitions in ONCONFIG

Hi, as far as I know, the nettype parameter in the onconfig overwrites the default configuration. That means the shared-memory connection goes over the cpu-vp and any other connection over the net-vp, if one is needed. You may change this behaviour and put in the max. no. of threads and so on as well, i guess. And yes, I experienced no problems. However, Your sqlhosts file provides the connection information itself. In our case, we have only two instances of online on our server, each with 1 dbname and 1 alias: instance1 onipcshm myhost inst1_conn instance1_net ontlitcp myhost inst1_serv instance2 onipcshm myhost inst2_conn instance2_net ontlitcp myhost inst2_serv Note that inst1_conn and inst2_conn are just dummy-entries, they don't appear in your services-file, but must be unique anyway. As you have not included your config-files in your post, I can't tell if you already did it this way. We had some net-problems, too, until we solved it this way, now we're fine. Roland. J.
