MX Release 3.1 (H06.23+, J06.12+)

Host Name/IP Address:

Enter a host name:

host-name[:port-number]

• Enter a host name:

host-name[:port-number]

• If you do not specify a port number, RMXCI uses the default port number18650. Ensure

that a service has started on port 18650.

Or enter an IP address:

IP-address[:port-number]

2. Enter your user name.

3. Enter your password.

4. Enter the name of a data source that is available and started.

If you do not enter a data source, by default, RMXCI connects to TDM_Default_DataSource.

If TDM_Default_DataSource or any data source which you specify is not started, RMXCI

returns an error and prompts you to close the session. If you specify a data source that does

not exist, RMXCI returns a warning and connects to TDM_Default_DataSource.

After you finish logging in to the SQL/MX database, the SQL prompt appears as shown:

Welcome to the NonStop(TM) SQL/MX Remote Conversational Interface

Host Name/IP Address: nsksys.ind.hp.com:18650

User Name: super.super

Password:

DataSource Name [TDM_Default_DataSource]:

Connected to DataSource: TDM_Default_DataSource

SQL>

At the prompt, you can enter an SQL statement or a RMXCI command. For more information, see

Chapter 4 (page 33).

NOTE: RMXCI enables you to re-enter the login parameters with a maximum of three retries,

before it exits from the session.

The retry logic is applied as follows:

• If a connection fails due to an invalid host name, RMXCI prompts only for the host name

parameter.

• If the login fails due to invalid user name or password, RMXCI prompts only for the user name

and password.

• If the login fails with an error stating that the data source is not started, RMXCI does not prompt

for the options again.

• If all the login parameters are invalid, RMXCI prompts only for the host name. When a valid

host name is entered, RMXCI prompts for the user name and password.

The retry logic applies to connect and reconnect commands. For the reconnect command,

this applies only when no prior connection has been established (-noconnect).

If the -q parameter or -version is included on the command line, RMXCI does not prompt for

retries. If the -s parameter is included on the command line, RMXCI prompts for retries.
