Hosts and Services Files

ajaybabuCh

Hi

How to maintain(Create) multiple DB Servers on single machine.
What to do with this Hosts and Service files. Is it necessary to have the same info of these files on each client to access the dbs.

Please give me clear details. I am always confused about this.

Regards
Ajay

to create services

if you have two services in one server you have to manual your services and run it each time you use the services
to create services :

create a textfile then write this

server servername=your servername, nettype=tcp,database=path of your DB

save it as batchfile .bat

ofcourse you have to specify to all your client the hostname of your server(s) and the services too.

I just creating this on my own pc..


Copy the Database Server folder of Navision and just replace the database file (.fdb) and create a services that points in this folder..and that's it you have new db server..

example of two db server in one machine..

in the host file

db1 192.0.0.1
db2 192.0.0.1

in the services file

db1 50000/tcp
db2 50001/tcp
