Connection Parameters Section [ConnectionParams]

The parameters in the [ConnectionParams] section of the JADE initialization file are used by SDE nodes to establish connections with other nodes in a Synchronized Database Environment (SDE).

To specify the connection parameters for a specific server, the MyName parameter in the [SyncDbService] section for that server is appended to the [ConnectionParams] section name. For example, the connection parameters for an SDS server with a MyName of Production are specified in the [ConnectionParams.Production] section. This section is used by the SDS server when it has the primary role and it is also used by each secondary server to obtain the parameters required to connect to the Production server when it is the primary.

To allow for takeover, the JADE initialization file parameters for each SDS server (primary or secondary) should contain connection parameters for itself as a primary and connection parameters for any SDE node that could become the primary. An SDS secondary with an RPS subrole need only contain connection parameters for any potential primary database servers. For further details, see "Configuring the Synchronized Database Service", "JADE Initialization File Configuration Examples", and "Creating your First SDS Environment", in Chapter 1 of the JADE Synchronized Database Service (SDS) Administration Guide. See also "Two-Level Section Names", earlier in this chapter.

The primary database server operates in a passive or listen mode, accepting (or rejecting) in‑bound connections, and makes use of the following parameters in the [ConnectionParams.primary‑name] section.

The secondary database server initiates an active open to its specified primary server and makes use of the following parameter in the [ConnectionParams.primary‑name] section.
