The CONNX RCI/JDBC Server component is a Microsoft Windows server component that communicates with the RCI run-time. It is a Windows executable that opens a socket and listens for new connections. When it accepts a new connection, it creates a new thread that is dedicated towards communicating to that client. Installing the CONNX RCI/JDBC Server component on every machine is an optional task since only one server is required for communication with all CONNX RCI/JDBC client machines.
