Client/Server Communication
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.
Host/Port
At any time during the execution of the precompiler or the RCI run-time, if a Host/Port combination is required, the information requested is the HOST address of the RCI/JDBC server and the PORT that the server is listening on. The default PORT for the RCI/JDBC server is 7500. For more information on how to configure the RCI/JDBC server, please refer to the CONNX documentation, available online, on the CONNX CD-ROM, and within the CONNX application.
