When deployed in a network or client-server configuration, Micro Focus XDBC requires two configuration files:
This file is described in Client Configuration.
By default, Micro Focus XDBC expects this file to be located in the lib subdirectory of the install. net.ini is where you define client-side settings for your network configuration.
You may use any of the following configuration variables in net.ini. The table below lists the variables, along with their defaults and brief descriptions. For complete descriptions, including examples, follow the links.
| Variable | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| KEY_CONNECT | 1234 | Used to encrypt the user ID and password sent over the network |
| PACKETSIZE | 8192 | Specifies the size of buffer used to aggregate send operations |
| READ_TIMEOUT | 0 | Specifies the time to wait for read completion |
| RETURN_ERRNO | No | Returns the operating system error code for communication errors |
| WRITE_TIMEOUT | 0 | Specifies the time to wait for write completion |
For your convenience, a sample net.ini is is installed with the Micro Focus XDBC package in the lib subdirectory. Most of the configuration options are commented out in this sample. To use an option, remove the comment hash sign (#) to apply a setting, and then resave the file.
