IPINTERFACE

Valid for

Manager, Extract

Description

Under NonStop parallel TCP/IP architecture, a process can have multiple interfaces available. Use IPINTERFACE to restrict the Manager or Extract process to the interface specified by an input IP address or DNS name.

If the specified address is not associated with the TCP/IP process, Extract will ABEND with an error and STATUS MANAGER will return an error that varies depending on the address protocol that is used and installed (IPv4 or IPv6). The errors returned by STATUS MANAGER will be something like:

Manager process $EXMGR is running (IP socket not open error 4115 (Can't assign requested address, completing bind)).

Manager process $EXMGR is running(Process $ZTC0, IP (null) port 12345).

Manager process $EXMGR is running(IP socket not open Invalid function argument).

Default

Handles the requesting IP address.

Syntax

IPINTERFACE {ip_address | dns_name}

ip_address: The IP address to which Manager or Extract is to be restricted.
dns_name: The domain name to which Manager or Extract is to be restricted.

Examples

The IP address can be restricted either by using IPINTERFACE or by using the optional @ip_address with TCPIPPROCESSNAME as shown in the examples below.

Example 1

The IP address can be specified by using the IPINTERFACE parameter as shown in the example below.

TCPIPPROCESSNAME $ZTC1
IPINTERFACE 192.0.2.2

Example 2

Or the IP address can be specified by attaching the IP address to the TCPIPPROCESSNAME parameter as shown in the example below.

TCPIPPROCESSNAME $ZTC1@192.0.2.2
