Format of the Server URI String

Use the server argument in a command line to specify the server Universal Resource Identifier (URI) target database and the client-server transport, instead of the server and path arguments in a command line and the ServerNodeSpecifications parameter in the [JadeClient] section of the JADE initialization file.

The syntax of the server URI command line argument is as follows.

server=scheme://target-address/environment-UUID[/server-UUID][?arguments]

The scheme and target-address values specify the client-server transport definition. The environment identity UUID (in display form) specifies the database to which the client node is connecting. This is optionally followed by the database server identity UUID. For details about the database identities, see "Database Identities", in Chapter 3 of the JADE Database Administration Guide.

Specify both environment and server identities when you want the client node to connect to a specific SDS secondary database.

The following subsections explain how you can specify the target address for each URI scheme.
