AdministeringIn addition to administering the database server, you can tune performance, replicate data, and archive data.
System administrationThese topics contain concepts, procedures, and reference information for database and database server administrators to use for managing and tuning HCL OneDB™ database servers.
Administrator's GuideThe HCL OneDB™ Administrator's Guide provides the information required to administer HCL OneDB™.
The database server
Client/server communicationThese topics explain the concepts and terms that you must understand in order to configure client/server communication.
Connectivity filesThe connectivity files contain the information that enables client/server communication and enable a database server to communicate with another database server.
Network-configuration filesThese topics identify and explain the use of network-configuration files on TCP/IP networks.
TCP/IP connectivity filesWhen you configure the database server to use the TCP/IP network protocol, you use information from the hosts and services files to prepare the sqlhosts information.
TCP/IP connectivity files (Windows™)The hosts and services network-configuration files prepare the SQLHOSTS registry key for the TCP/IP network protocol.

TCP/IP connectivity files (Windows)

The hosts and services network-configuration files prepare the SQLHOSTS registry key for the TCP/IP network protocol.

These files are in the following locations:

%WINDIR%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
%WINDIR%\system32\drivers\etc\services

As an alternative, configure TCP/IP to use the Domain Name Service (DNS) for host name resolutions.

The Dynamic Host Configuration Product (DHCP) dynamically assigns IP addresses from a pool of addresses instead of using IP addresses that are explicitly assigned to each workstation. If your system uses DHCP, Windows™ Internet Name Service (WINS) is required. DHCP is transparent to the database server.
