| - | ====== OdxNet Omnidex Network Services ====== | ||
| - | ODXNET (Omnidex Network Server) is the client/server listener program that runs as a socket listening process on a UNIX or Windows server, trafficking client requests. ODXNET uses pooled processes to increase connection speed and preconnected processes can also be configured to further improve connection speed. | ||
| - | |||
| - | By default, ODXNET creates pooled processes for each application type (ODBC, JDBC, OmniAccess) automatically when the listener is started. Each client connection attempts to use a pooled process unless explicitly directed through an option to have a new process created. | ||
| - | |||
| - | Each application type comes with a generic application pool that is used by ODXNET. Environment specific application pools can be setup in the ODXNET configuration file for the listener. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ===== OdxNet Setup ===== | ||
| - | Setting up ODXNET varies depending on the operating system and intended use. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==== Modify the ODXNET configuration file ==== | ||
| - | |||
| - | First, create or modify the ODXNET configuration file. This file contains settings that ODXNET will use at run-time. | ||
| - | |||
| - | The configuration file should be used in a production environment but can be optionally omitted for a test environment. Most of the required settings have defaults that will be used if the configuration file is omitted. However, some scenarios, such as setting up a Windows NT Service or creating environment specific application pools, require settings that can only be defined in the configuration file. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==== Set the required environment variables. ==== | ||
| - | |||
| - | Certain operating system Environment variables should be set up that OdxNet may need for proper access to Omnidex libraries. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==== Start the listener process. ==== | ||
| - | The simplist way to start OdxNet is to simply enter the name at the operating system command line. | ||
| - | |||
| - | os> odxnet | ||
| - | |||
| - | This will start ODXNET using default configuration values and listening on PORT 7555. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==== Set up the client. ==== | ||
| - | Omnidex client must be installed on each client machine intending to connect to an Omnidex environment. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==== Test the connection. ==== | ||
| - | It is always a good idea to test the connection before trying to use a client application with the data source. The Windows client tool DS EDIT is ideal for this. | ||
| - | Run the client application. | ||
