Configuring UNIX Machines In a TCP/IP Network
Each UNIX machine in a TCP/IP network has three components:
- A file in
/etc/hosts
(or elsewhere) or a Network Information System that lists machine names and network addresses. At a minimum, the file must be in the machines where each Progress server and each application server (Progress AppServer environment) is running.- A file in
/etc/services
(or elsewhere) or a Network Information System that assigns a name, port number, and communication protocol to the server process for each Progress database or to the application server in a Progress AppServer environment. This is a sample entry in the services file:NOTE: The main database server process in called the database broker on systems running shared-memory versions of Progress. For more information on shared-memory systems, see the "Shared-memory Configurations" section.
- A file in
/etc/protocols
that identifies the protocols available to the network in the TCP/IP protocol suite.
