With HiRDB/Single Server, when both the HiRDB server and HiRDB client are on the same machine, registering to the Windows Firewall exceptions list is not necessary if you specify the following.
- Specify a loopback address (127.0.0.1) as the pdunit operand's -x option.
- Specify Y for the pd_rpc_bind_loopback_address operand.
- Specify a loopback address for the client environment definition PDHOST operand.
- Specify YES for the client environment definition PDCLTBINDLOOPBACKADDR operand.
- Notes on using the simple setup tool
- To set up the HiRDB/Single Server environment using the simple setup tool, do the following.
- Run the simple setup tool on a machine on which HiRDB/Single Server is configured.
- Specify the loopback address at the host name on the simple setup tool start page.
- On the simple setup tool Detailed Definitions screen, specify Y as the pd_rpc_bind_loopback_address operand.
- If you do not perform these tasks, the HiRDB server program will be blocked by Windows Firewall, so HiRDB will not start even if you run the simple setup tool.
