Managing client connections
Monitor and maintain client connections and direct client connection requests to the appropriate server in a grid, a high-availability cluster, a replicate set, or a server set by using the Connection Manager.
Prerequisite: For the Connection Manager, the HCL OpenAdmin Tool (OAT) for Informix® requires Informix 11.70.xC3
and the Connection Manager that is packaged with Informix 11.70.xC3
or with HCL Informix
Client Software Development Kit (Client SDK) 3.70.xC3.
A Connection Manager provides load balancing and directs client connection requests to the appropriate server in a connection unit based on service level agreements (SLA). A connection unit is a collection of database servers in a grid, a high-availability cluster, a replicate set, or a server set. A single Connection Manager can manage multiple connection units.
Important: The Connection Manager requires that the
Connection Manager name, SLA names, cluster names, and server set
names are in all ASCII characters, even for non-English locales.
