User guide

This command connects to the server specified by the <server_connection> information.
Example
The following examples use the Connect command:
rdbthincontrol> connect //localhost:1701/ jones mypassword
rdbthincontrol> connect server 1701
rdbthincontrol> connect myServer jim xxxxx
Note:
If username and password are not provided on the Connect command line, then the values
entered in the configuration options 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.
6.2.2 Implicit Connection
A number of the control commands require a control connection to be established with the
target server. If the target server is not currently connected then both explicitly provided
connection information and session connection information may be used to attempt to
establish a control connection.
Connection information may be provided on the command line along with the command,
for example:
Example
rdbthincontrol> stop server //localhost:1701/ jones mypassword
Once an implicit connection is made, this connection will be established as the current
session connection until overridden by another implicit or explicit connection.
6.3 Control Password
To carry out any operations on active servers or clients you are required to provide a
control password.
This password must match the control password for that active server, otherwise, an
exception will be raised and the operation will fail.
When you start up the controller you may provide a password as a command line option or
in the session section of an XML-formatted Configuration file
. If you provide both a
password and a controlPass the controlPass will take precedence.
