APPX/Net Client and APPX/ODBC Variables

APPX_DATA_SERVER

Specifies the hostname:port to which your client will connect to retrieve APPX data. It should be set to your APPX server’s machine name followed by a colon “:” character, followed by a port number such as 8060. The hostname and port specified must correspond to a running WinAppxD or appxd (you can test this by trying to login to the desired hostname and port with “appx –c” or the Java client). This variable is almost always required when using APPX/ODBC on a PC to access Unix data.

Valid values: hostname:port

Default value: not set

APPX_UID

Specifies the server user ID and password to be used for authentication of your APPX/Net connection. The user ID and password must exist and be non-expired for login to be successful. This variable is almost always required when using APPX/ODBC on a PC to access Unix data.

Valid values: server_userid:server_password

Default value: not set
