If you have more than one protocol stack installed on the
client or server computer, you should ensure that the client and
the database server are using the same protocol. The -x command
line switch for the server selects a list of protocols for the server
to use, and the CommLinks connection parameter does the same for
the client application.
You can use these options to ensure that each application is using the same protocol.
By default, both the database server and client library use all available protocol stacks. The server supports client requests on any active protocol, and the client searches for a server on all active protocols.
More information about the -x switch
is in Chapter
1, “Running the Database Server” in the Utility Guide.
