Synopsis
ADDRESS =address_data address_data(TCP/IP) := (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST={hostname|ip_address})(PORT =port_number)address_data(IPC) := (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY =key_name)address_data(SPX) := (PROTOCOL = SPX)(SERVICE =spx_service_name)address_data(Named Pipes) := (PROTOCOL = NMP)(SERVER =server_name)(PIPE =pipe_name)
Specifies a protocol address. Typically, a protocol address from a
tnsnames.ora file is used to contact a Net8
listener running on a remote server. In an address list, a protocol
address list may also point to a Connection Manager instance.
When a protocol address is used to connect to a Net8 listener, the
protocol address specified in tnsnames.ora must
match one of the addresses that the listener is monitoring. These are
defined in the listener’s listener.ora
file. Similarly, when connections go through Connection Manager, the
protocol address must match an address specified in
cman.ora.
Parameters
- address_data
Protocol-specific address data.
- host_name
A TCP/IP hostname.
- ip_address
A TCP/IP address.
- port_number
A TCP/IP port number.
- key_name
An IPC key name. This should normally match an IPC key name specified in the remote listener’s
listener.orafile.- spx_service_name
An SPX service name.
- server_name
The name of the server on which either the Net8 listener or Connection Manager is running.
- pipe_name
The name of the pipe over which you want to communicate. This must correspond to a pipe name defined in the destination listener’s
listener.orafile.
