<server_ident> [<server_uid>]
The <server_ident> string can be one of the following:
• Port ID - this is the same as issuing //localhost:<port>/
• full URL with the format:
//<node>:<port>/
• name of server as found in the configuration used to start the controller
The <server_uid> is:
<username> [<password>]
The <password> must match the control password of the server for the control connection
to be carried out successfully.
If a username or password is not provided on the command line then the current session
information is used.
This connection, once established, will be maintained until either an explicit Disconnect is
issued, or a new connection is established to another server or the controller exits.
If an attempt is made to issue a controller command without a connection being
established, then an error condition will be raised.
Example
rdbthincontrol> watch
No Rdb Thin Server connection has been established
If username and password are not provided on the connect command line, then the values
of the appropriate configuration options set when the controller was invoked will be used,
or if a configuration file is specified, the configuration file session characteristics will be
used. See Session Section
within XML formatted Configuration File for more information
on session characteristics.
6.2.1 Connect Command
If a connection has not been established or the current connection has been disconnected or
a different server connection is required, then the Connect command can be issued at the
control command line.
Format
connect [server] <server_connection>
