Parameters
- ADDRESS_LIST
Encloses a list of addresses. See the ADDRESS_LIST entry in the next section.
- ADDRESS
Defines a protocol address. See the ADDRESS entry later in this appendix.
- CONNECT_DATA
Specifies connection data. See the CONNECT_DATA entry later in this appendix.
- FAILOVER
Enables or disables connect-time failover for addresses, or address lists, in the description. By default, failover is on. When failover is on, a failure to connect using one address, or address list, causes Net8 to try another address or address list. Net8 works through addresses in order unless client load balancing is used.
- LOAD_BALANCE
Enables or disables client load balancing. Load balancing within a description is off by default. When making a new connection with load balancing enabled, Net8 randomly ...
