ChildServer

Identify the child server process with the ChildServer connection attribute.

In a client/server environment, TimesTen can have multiple TimesTen child server processes to handle incoming requests from clients. You provide the ChildServer connection attribute to identify a specific child server process for certain cache connection pool built-in procedures.

Each child server process is identified by a number assigned with the ChildServer=n connection attribute, where n is a number ranging from 1 to the number of running child server processes. Once connected to the child server process, you can execute either the ttCacheConnPoolGet('current') or ttCacheConnPoolApply built-in procedures that are meant for a specific child server process.

For example, the following connects to the child server process identified as 1 and applies the saved cache connection pool configuration to this child server process. It does the same process for child server process 2 (given that ServersPerDSN=2).

Command> connect "DSN=cache1;ChildServer=1;"; 
Command> call ttCacheConnPoolApply; 
Command> disconnect; 

Command> connect "DSN=cache1;ChildServer=2;"; 
Command> call ttCacheConnPoolApply; 
Command> disconnect;

Required Privilege

No privilege is required to change the value of this attribute.

Setting

Set ChildServer as follows:

Where to set the attribute How the attribute is represented Setting

Where to set the attribute	How the attribute is represented	Setting
C or Java programs or UNIX and Linux systems `odbc.ini` file in TimesTen	`ChildServer`	`ChildServer=n`, where `n` is a number ranging from 1 to the number of running child server processes. The default value is `0`. When you specify the `ChildServer` connection attribute your client process connects using the identified child server process. If the attribute is not specified, then the client process connects using a randomly selected child server process.

ChildServer

ChildServer=n, where n is a number ranging from 1 to the number of running child server processes. The default value is 0.

When you specify the ChildServer connection attribute your client process connects using the identified child server process. If the attribute is not specified, then the client process connects using a randomly selected child server process.
