Configuring the Internet Protocol Version

JADE supports Internet Protocol Version 4 (IPv4) and Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6).

These transport protocols are used in the following areas of JADE.

• Remote Procedure Call (RPC), between database server and nodes

• Thin client, between the application server and presentation clients

• Synchronized Database Service (SDS), between SDS nodes

• Web, between the node and the Web server add-in (that is, jadehttp.dll or mod_ jadehttp.so)

• User code in your application that uses the TcpIpConnection class

• ODBC, between the thin client and server

The following JADE initialization file parameter values refer to networking.

• [JadeServer] section and NetworkSpecification parameter

• [ConnectionParams] section NetworkSpecification and ServerNodeSpecifications parameters

• [JadeClient] section ProxyHost and ServerNodeSpecifications parameters

• [JadeAppServer] section AppServer parameter

• [JadeThinClient] section AppServer and SSLProxyHost parameters

• [JadeOdbcServer] section ListenerHostName and ListenPort parameters

The system administrator should review the following host name and IP address values of the following properties for potential changes, to enable the IPv6 feature. JADE developers who expect a deployed system to support the IPv6 feature should review their code that accesses these properties, as these properties can now return different values and break assumptions that you may have previously made.

The most-common change is that IP addresses will have a dot quad number format (for example, 192.168.254.254) and be a maximum of 16 characters. For details, see "Limits and Defaults", later in this chapter.
