Starting Multiplex Servers

The start_iq utility starts simplex or multiplex servers.

The -n <engine name> switch is required. The engine name must match the server name used when creating the multiplex server. The -x (connection string) value must match tcpip connection parameters specified when creating the multiplex server. The database file path must match the database file path as specified when creating the multiplex server. For applications, the -gn value must be set higher than the total number of expected simultaneous requests plus 5 (for internal events and connections.)

To start and stop IQ multiplex servers interactively, use the start server utility, start_iq. To start IQ multiplex servers in scripts, use command line parameters.
The following command starts a server and names it host1_test1_writer:
start_iq @/host1/mpxdevices/params.cfg -n host1_test1_writer -x "tcpip{port=2763}" /host1/mpxdevices/test1.db
