The ToolTalk Database server is used to store three types
of information:
ToolTalk objects specs.
ToolTalk session ids of sessions with clients that
have joined a file using the tt_file_join call.
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:
Login as superuser.
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
|
Cause inetd to reread the configuration file.
