Location
Each data object is located in a place, where the general format of a place string is:
[vnode::] [/@iigcn | /@gca_address]
where:
vnode
Is the IMA domain (also know as the Ingres installation)
gca_address
Is the listen address of the server as shown in Visual DBA, Interactive Performance Monitor (IPM), or Name Server Maintenance utility (iinamu).
If the place is visible in several different processes in an installation, then it is "vnode specific."
If the place is a particular server, then it is "process specific."
The place can be a local or remote installation. To connect to the remote installation, an installation password must have been defined.
