Multiuser Configuration

Before running Jade in multiuser mode (the default), ensure that TCP/IP has been loaded on both your client workstations and the server (remote node) workstation. For details, see "Selecting Network Addresses", in Chapter 2, or "Using the Jade Remote Access Program", in Chapter 1 of the Remote Access Program User's Guide.

In the standard initial installation, the following parameters are set in the jade.ini file in the database directory.

[Jade]
server=multiUser                  // Default

[JadeServer]
NodeName=LocalHost
NetworkSpecification1=TcpIP,Enabled,6005

[JadeClient]
ServerNodeSpecifications=TcpIP,LocalHost,6005

This sets up the server and clients to run on the same installation node. (TcpIP is case‑insensitive in Jade initialization file parameter values.)

For more details about the parameters in the Jade initialization file required to run Jade in a multiuser environment, see Chapter 1 of your Jade Initialization File Reference, particularly the "Jade Object Manager Client Section [JadeClient]" and "Jade Object Manager Server Section [JadeServer]" sections.

For details about using the server Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) string so that a client node can specify the target database server and transport details, see "Format of the Server URI String", in Chapter 2.
