Understanding the format of the interfaces file
The following rules apply to the format of interfaces file entries:
• Each Adaptive Server has only one entry, although there may be multiple
lines in the entry.
• Each line that follows the servername line must begin with a space or a
character tab.
• Each element on the line must be separated by a single space.
• Each entry is separated by a blank line.
• You can add comments to an interfaces file by adding a pound sign (#) at
the beginning of the line and a line break at the end.
There are two interfaces file entry formats, TLI and TCP.
A TLI style entry looks like:
Homogeneous
clients
Harpo SQL
server
Chico SQL
server
Harpo
xxxxx
Chico
xxxxx
Get Harpo’s
address and
connect.
Get Chico’s address
and connect.
Get Chico’s
