1.3.2.1.2Add Database Dialog
Enables the user to add an OpenEnterprise Database to the 'Selected Databases' List.
A remote database is defined by the Server's DNS name(s) followed by a colon, followed by 'rtrdb1' (eg OEServer:rtrdb1). There is a comma in between each server if the Database is running in Redundant mode- (eg Master1:rtrdb,Master2:rtrdb1). OpenEnterprise Databases may also be defined by IP addresses (eg 102.10.0.90:rtrdb1,102:10.0.91:rtrdb1). The Server DNS names may be aliased using the Hosts file found in the 'C:\Winnt\System32\Drivers\etc' directory. This allows Databases to be named independently of specific IP addresses or DNS names. A sample Hosts entry is shown below: -
101.100.0.183 oeserv1 oedwat1 #pserv1
101.100.0.184 oeserv2 oedwat2 #pserv1
The IP addresses of the Servers are given on the left, then after a space or tab each alias name is specified. In the example above there are two alias names defined for each Server. The hash indicates that what follows is a comment. After the hash above the real DNS names of the Servers is given as a reminder. With the above Hosts file, 'pinging' oeserv1 would result in a reply from the machine with the IP address 101.100.0.183, even though its real DNS name is pserv1.
