name

Specifies the server port (TCP/IP) or name (shared-memory) for connections. The default port is "21553" and the default name is "21553". If a number is specified, it will be used for the TCP/IP port and the server name.

Note

If both shared-memory and TCP/IP are going to be used, the name option must contain a valid port number and that will be the string for accessing the shared-memory. For example:

 name=1530
 
Can be used for TCP/IP as:
 
\code
tfs://localhost:1530/BOOKSHOP
 tfs-tcp://localhost:1530/BOOKSHOP

Or, for shared-memory as:

tfs://1530/BOOKSHOP
tfs-shm://1530/BOOKSHOP

Note

If a string or invalid port number is specified, it will be used as the server name, and the TCP/IP transport will not be initialized.

Default Value

If the name option is not defined, the default value of 21553 is used.

Example

name=21553

TFS Instantiation Options

This option can only be set after the TFS is allocated and before it is initialized. Some of the functions that can be used to set this option are listed below:

• RDM_CPP::TFS::SetOption()
• RDM_CPP::TFS::SetOptions()
• rdm_tfsSetOption()
• rdm_tfsSetOptions()

If the rdm-tfs utility is being used to instantiate a TFS, command line options are used to set options affecting TFS startup.
