Logical Servers

An SAP Sybase IQ 16.0 multiplex database upgrade changes the way users access multiplex servers. Starting with SAP Sybase IQ 15.4, logical servers provide the only means to access the multiplex server nodes.

Upgrading a multiplex database creates an appropriate logical server for each server-specific login policy. Login policies are updated to use a logical server configuration that provides access to the same set of multiplex servers that they did prior to upgrade.

If a login policy does not allow access to any node (such as when base setting of LOCKED is ON and there are no multiplex server-level overrides), the login policy is set to a system-defined logical server, NONE, instead of creating a new logical server. NONE indicates that the login policy does not allow access to any multiplex server.

If a login policy has no explicit setting for the LOCKED option, either at the base level or via a multiplex server-level override, no logical server is created for that policy. Such a login policy inherits the logical server assignment of the root login policy.
