interfaces File Format

The format for the interfaces file supports the TLI and TCP style entry.

These rules apply:

Each SAP ASE has only one entry, although there may be multiple lines in the entry.
Each line that follows the servername line must begin with a space or a tab.
Each element on the line must be separated by a single space.
Each entry is separated by a blank line.
You can add comments to an interfaces file by adding a pound sign (#) at the beginning of the line and a line break at the end.

There are two interfaces file entry formats, TLI and TCP.

Note: SAP ASE does not support the TLI interface in threaded mode.

A TLI-style entry uses this format:

servername retry_attempts delay_interval<newline>
 <tab>service_type api protocol device address filter<newline>
 <tab>ha_failover servername<newline>

For example:

harpo_server1

master tli tcp /dev/tcp 0x0002333337f00001

query tli tcp /dev/tcp 0x0002333337f00001

A TCP-style entry uses this format:

servername retry_attempts delay_interval<newline>
 <tab>service_type protocol network machine port filter<newline>
 <tab>ha_failover servername<newline>

For example:

chico_server1

 master tcp ether chico 5678 ssl

 query tcp ether chico 5678 ssl
