MyIP Communication Parameter [ME]

Controls whether the client attempts to determine addressing information.

Usage

TCP/IP, HTTP, HTTPS

Values

String

Description

The MyIP (ME) parameter is provided for computers with more than one network adapter.

Each adapter has an IP address. By default, SAP Sybase IQ uses the first network card it finds. If you want your database server to use more than one network card, specify the address of each card in the MyIP (ME) parameter.

If you supply the keyword NONE as the IP number, no attempt is made to determine the addressing information. NONE is intended primarily for clients on operating systems where this operation is expensive, such as machines that have multiple network cards or remote access (RAS) software and a network card. It is not intended for use on the server.

On Windows platforms, you can use this option multiple times for machines with multiple IP addresses.

Separate multiple IP addresses with commas. You can optionally append a port number to the IP address, separated by a colon.

When specifying an IPv6 address on a Windows platform, use the interface identifier. UNIX platforms support both interface identifiers and interface names in IPv6 addresses. The interface identifier is required on Linux (kernel 2.6.13 and later).

Examples

  • This Windows command line (entered all on one line) instructs the server to use two network cards, one with a specified port number:

start_iq -x tcpip(MyIP=192.75.209.12:2367,192.75.209.32) 
c:\sybase\IQ-16_0\demo\iqdemo.db
  • This command line (entered all on one line) instructs the server to use an IPv6 network card:

start_iq -x tcpip(MyIP=fe80::5445:5245:444f) 
"c:\sybase\IQ-16_0\demo\iqdemo.db"
  • This connection string fragment instructs the client to make no attempt to determine addressing information:

...CommLinks= tcpip(MyIP=NONE)...
