Connection Data
The Connection data specifies the network address of the remote node, the listen address of the remote instance’s Communications Server, and the network protocol that is used to make the connection.
The Connection data has these items:
Type
Specifies type of connection, either global or private.
Net Address
Identifies the host specified in the Actian Data Platform Warehouse Details page, Connections tab.
For the format of the net address, see Network Address Format.
Protocol
Specifies the keyword for the protocol used by the local node to connect to the remote node. Use the keyword tcp_ip.
Listen Address
Identifies the unique identifier used by the remote Communications Server for interprocess communication.
Just as the vnode name identifies an instance on the network, the listen address identifies a process (the Communications Server) in the remote instance.
Network Address Format
The network address in a TCP/IP environment has this format:
host_name | ip_address
where:
host_name
Is the name of the remote node in character form
ip_address
Is the internet address of the remote node in the following format:
For IPv4: d.d.d.d (For example: 123.45.67.89) dotted decimal
