Caché System Administration Guide - InterSystems Documentation

Configuring Databases
• Read Only
• Mount Required at Startup — Select Yes from the drop-down list to mount the database each time
you start Caché.
Note:
By default, some databases (for example, USER and SAMPLES) are not mounted when
Caché starts. This property lets you override the default. For additional information, see
The Local Databases List Information table in Maintaining Local Databases in the
“Managing Caché ” chapter of this guide.
The “Create a Local Database” section describes many of these fields.
2.3.2 Remote Databases
A remote database is a database that is physically located on another server system, as opposed to a
local database which is physically located on the local server system.
From the Remote Databases page you can perform the following tasks:
• Create Remote Database
• Add Remote Database
• Edit Remote Database Properties
• Delete a Remote Database — Click Delete in the appropriate row to delete the selected database
configuration.
2.3.2.1 Create Remote Database
To define a remote database on the local server, perform the following steps:
1. If you have not defined the remote server on this instance of Caché, navigate to the [Home] >
[Configuration] > [ECP Settings] page of the System Management Portal.
2. Click Add Remote Data Server and enter the following information for the ECP remote data server:
a. Server Name — Enter a logical name for the convenience of the application system administrator.
b. Host DNS Name or IP Address — Specify the host name either as a raw IP address in dotteddecimal
format or as the Domain Name System (DNS) name of the remote host. If you use
the DNS name, it resolves to an actual IP address each time the application server initiates a
connection to that ECP data server host.
c. IP Port — The port number defaults to 1972; change it as necessary to the superserver port
of the Caché instance on the remote server.
