Overview

The JADE Remote Access Program (jadrap) is a user interface that enables you to start or administer JADE on a server node. You can use this utility to:

• Access a JADE database on the server node in multiuser mode

• Disable users from signing on

• View server configuration information

• View the currently connected clients

• Run the server node as a service

  The menu options that enable the JADE Remote Access Program to run as a service are disabled if you do not have the necessary privileges to install or remove an application as a service. Installing, controlling, and removing a service can be performed only if you have sufficient (that is, administrative) operating system privileges.

• Synchronize cached values when you have modified non-GUI server application details in the JADE initialization file

In a multiuser environment, the JADE Remote Access Program can be accessed only from the server node. A client node can therefore not use a specific JADE database until that database has been accessed on the server node, by using the JADE Remote Access Program. (The JADE Remote Access Program has no meaning in single user mode, as the client and server nodes are the same node.)

Each JADE database in multiuser mode must have its own JADE Remote Access Program, regardless of the server workstation on which it is running; that is, one server workstation may have one or more JADE Remote Node Access utilities.

Client nodes in a multiuser JADE environment can connect to the server node by using the TCP/IP communications protocol.
