-x iqsrv16 database server option

Syntax

iqsrv16 -x { all | none | tcpip [ ( parm=value;...) } ...

Allowed values

Regardless of which settings you choose for the -x option, the database server always accepts shared memory connections.

By default, the network database server starts the shared memory and TCP/IP protocols.

You can specify the following values for the -x option:

• TCPIP (TCP) – Listen for connection attempts by the client using the shared memory and TCP/IP protocols.
• NONE – Listen for connection attempts by the client using only the shared memory protocol.
• ALL – Listen for connection attempts by the client using shared memory and TCP/IP protocols.

Applies to

All operating systems and database servers.

Remarks

Use the -x option to specify which communications protocols you want to use to listen for client connections.

For the TCP/IP protocol, additional parameters may be provided, in the following format:

-x tcpip(PARM1=value1;PARM2=value2;...)

For Unix, quotation marks are required if more than one parameter is supplied or certain punctuation characters are used, such as round brackets. For example:

-x "tcpip(PARM1=value1;PARM2=value2;...)"

When the database server listens for TCP/IP connections, by default it listens to all network cards on port 2638.
