Network Utilities
The GUI-based Ingres Network Utility (ingnet) or command-line based netutil is used on each client to create and maintain virtual node definitions that contain the login and connection data used to connect to a server. The ingnet utility is available on Windows platforms; netutil is available on all platforms.
The Ingres Network Utility and netutil allow you to perform the following tasks:
• View virtual node definitions
• Add, alter, and drop virtual node definitions
• Refresh and test virtual node definitions
• Connect to virtual nodes or gateways, and open one of two types of data administration windows where you can work with databases or test SQL queries
Note: How to access and use the Ingres Network Utility (ingnet) is explained in the following sections. See the Ingres Command Reference Guide for information on using the netutil program.
