Chapter 6: Driver Connection Properties and Data Types by Database Brand
In this example:
...server1:2003;InformixServer=TestServer;DatabaseName=TestServer...
is the part of the connection URL that specifies connection information for the primary
server. Alternate servers are specified using the AlternateServers property, in this
example:
...;AlternateServers=(server2:2003;InformixServer=TestServer2,server3:2003)
You can specify the optional connection properties DatabaseName or InformixServer for
each alternate server entry. For example:
jdbc:progress:informix://server1:2003;InformixServer=TestServer;
DatabaseName=TestServer;
AlternateServers=(server2:2003;InformixServer=TestServer2;
DatabaseName=TestServer,server3:2003)
If you do not specify an optional connection property in an alternate server entry, the
connection to that alternate server uses the property specified in the URL for the primary
server. For example, if you specify InformixServer=TestServer and
DatabaseName=TestServer for the primary server, but do not specify the InformixServer
and DatabaseName properties in the alternate server entry as shown in the following URL,
the driver uses the InformixServer and DatabaseName specified for the primary server and
tries to connect to the TestServer database on the Informix server TestServer:
jdbc:progress:informix://server1:2003;InformixServer=TestServer;
DatabaseName=TestServer;AlternateServers=(server2:2003,server3:2003)
