Connection information set in the 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 (for example, ipcshm or soctcp) can have a separate NETTYPE entry in the configuration file.
Recommendation: Although the
NETTYPE parameter is not a required parameter, you must set NETTYPE
if you use two or more connection types. After the database server
is running for some time, you can use the NETTYPE configuration parameter
to tune the database server for better performance.
