Disjoint

Use this page to view information about disjoint connection units and to connect to a server in a disjoint connection unit.

Prerequisite: For the Connection Manager, the OpenAdmin Tool (OAT) for Informix® requires IBM® Informix 11.70.xC3 and the Connection Manager that is packaged with Informix 11.70.xC3 or later, or with IBM Informix Client Software Development Kit (Client SDK) 3.70.xC3 or later.

A disjoint connection unit is managed by the same Connection Manager as a connection unit that includes the current server. However, the servers in the disjoint connection unit are not connected to the current server. The current server has limited information about the disjoint connection unit.

To connect to a server in the disjoint connection unit, click the icon for the connection unit. If the connection unit contains a server in the current OAT group, OAT connects to the server and obtains the information about the connection unit. If the connection unit does not contain a server in the current OAT group or if OAT cannot determine the server names in the connection unit, a page is displayed from which you can connect to the server and add the server to the current OAT group.

Connect to server

Use this page to connect to a server and to save the connection information for the server in the current OAT group. OAT groups provide a way to manage a group of database servers and to log on to a group rather than to each individual server.
Prerequisite: For Informix Connect or IBM Informix Client Software Development Kit (Client SDK) versions earlier than V3.0, ensure that each connection has a corresponding SQLHOSTS entry on the Web server computer.
Server
Select the database server to connect to. The servers in the list are members of the disjoint connection unit.
OAT group
Verify the OAT group. The connection information for the server is added to this group.
Host
Enter the name of the host computer for the database server.
Port
Enter the port number of the host computer for the database server.
User
Enter the user name to use to connect to the database server. Specify either user informix or a user that is a member of the Operating System DBSA group.
Password
Enter the valid password for the user.
Protocol
Select the type of connection to the database server (nettype on UNIX, or PROTOCOL on Windows):
Table 1. Summary of nettype and protocol values
UNIX or Linux: nettype value from the sqlhosts file Windows: protocol value in the SQLHOSTS registry key Description
ontlitcp   TLI (transport layer interface) with TCP/IP protocol
onsocssl onsocssl Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol
onsoctcp onsoctcp Sockets with TCP/IP protocol
