TCP/IP and Actian X Communications
On all platforms, Ingres Net typically uses TCP/IP to communicate between Actian X installations. A typical scenario is where applications in the client installation communicate through Ingres Net with the DBMS Server in the server installation. If using JDBC or .NET applications with Actian X, then TCP/IP is used to communicate between the JDBC or .NET driver running under the application and the Data Access Server (process iigcd).
On Linux, TCP/IP is typically used to communicate between Actian X processes—that is, as the local IPC. The tcp_ip protocol driver used for network communications is used for local communications also. Therefore, if you experience trouble with IPv6 across the network, local communications are likely to have trouble too. If so, basic Actian X server processes such as the Name Server (iigcn) and the DBMS Server (iidbms) may not even start.
