Name

ADDRESS

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.ora file.

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.ora file.
