 » Glossary

The ToolTalk Database server is used to store three types of information:

  1. ToolTalk objects specs.

  2. ToolTalk session ids of sessions with clients that have joined a file using the tt_file_join call.

  3. File-scoped messages that are queued because the message disposition is TT_QUEUED and a handler that can handle the message has not yet been started.

NOTE: The ToolTalk database server does not store messages that are scoped to file-in-session.

The ToolTalk service requires that a database server run on each machine that stores files that contain ToolTalk objects or files that are the subject of ToolTalk messages. When an application attempts to reference a file on a machine that does not contain a database server, an error similar to the following message is displayed:

where integral is the hostname and tcp is the application protocol. This error message indicates that the connection failed. A failed connection can also be caused by network problems.

When the ToolTalk Service is Installed Elsewhere on the System

To install the ToolTalk database server from another machine on the system that already has the ToolTalk service installed:

  1. Login as superuser.

  2. Check that the /etc/inetd.conf file contains the following line:

    # rpc stream tcp swait root /usr/dt/bin/rpc.ttdbserver 100083 1 /usr/dt/bin/rpc.ttdbserver
  3. Cause inetd to reread the configuration file.

    # /etc/inetd -c
