NETTYPE Configuration Parameter

The NETTYPE configuration parameter lets you adjust the number and type of virtual processors the database server uses for communication. Each type of network connection (ipcshm, ipcstr, ipcnmp, soctcp, tlitcp, and tlispx) can have a separate NETTYPE entry in the configuration file.

Although the NETTYPE parameter is not a required parameter, it is recommended that you set NETTYPE if you use two or more connection types. After the database server has been running for some time, you can use the NETTYPE configuration parameter to tune the database server for better performance.

For more information about NETTYPE, refer to Network Virtual Processors. For additional information, regarding the impact of the NETTYPE configuration parameter, refer to the IBM Informix: Administrator's Reference.
