Identifying an Ingres listen address

The Ingres listen address may typically be found in either the Ingres config.dat file or the Ingres install.log. You can use the following platform-specific procedures to confirm this value.

Ingres on Unix

1. Log in to the Ingres DBMS server as the Ingres owner (typically "ingres").
   
2. Ensure the Ingres environment is set (procedures will vary), and execute the following commands:
   
   

   
   cd bin
   ./netutil
   

   
   
3. You should see Ingres nodes listed in a Virtual Node Name column.
   
   
   
   
   
   
4. Highlight your Ingres node in the Virtual Node Name column.
   
5. The Listen Address should be seen in the Listen Address column.

Ingres on Windows

1. Identify a Windows machine with a VisualDBA installation.
   
2. Login to the machine using the ingres login.
   
3. Launch your VisualDBA.
   
4. Start the Ingres process if prompted.
   
5. Expand the Nodes menu tree.
   
6. Highlight the desired node.
   
7. Expand the Node menu item.
   
8. You will see Ingres node names in a list.
   
   
   
   
   
   
9. Select Alter.
   
10. View the node properties that appear in the Alter dialog. The listen address appears here.
    
11. Exit the Alter dialog.
