MIMTCP -Database TCP/IP connect dispatcher
When a Mimer SQL database is created using the
dbinstallcommand the definitions needed for remote access to the database is installed automatically. This setup is done in one of the files
/etc/xinetd.confor in the directory
In all these cases the
mimtcpcommand is used as described under Networking Setup. The mimtcp command listens to a specified TCP/IP port for an incoming Mimer SQL database connection request. It finds out the database name in the handshake message and redirects the connection to the target database using the registered information in
Note: It is possible to let a Mimer SQL database server listen directly to a TCP/IP port, i.e. not using the mimtcp redirecting function. This is achieved by changing the TCPPort parameter in the multidefs file from the default inetd value to the actual port number used. See The MULTIDEFS File on VMS and UNIX.
The mimtcp syntax is as follows:mimtcp [ -l [logfile]]
If mimtcp is used without any option, no logging is performed.If a string value is given in addition to the
-loption, that value will be used as the log file.If the
-loption is used without a value, the filename mimtcp.log will be used that will end up in the root home folder under a sub directory called .mimer_log.
The following example will start mimtcp with logging using the default log file, located in
