Remote Server
Synopsis
[Gateways] Name=Remote,Server,Port
Name is the name of a remote server definition. ServerIP and Port are required fields.
Description
The [Gateways] section of the configuration parameter file contains entries for each External Language Gateway configured on the InterSystems IRIS® data platform instance. Each entry contains a comma-separated list of values defining a Gateway Server. Some fields are required, and default values are used for blank fields.
The fields for a remote server are as follows:
-
Type (required) — Type of the Gateway Server. For remote connections, this is set to Remote.
-
Server (required) — IP address or name of the machine where the server is located. The maximum length is 256 characters; 127.0.0.1 is the default.
-
Port (required) — TCP port number for communication between the server and InterSystems IRIS.
Changing This Parameter
On the External Language Servers page of the Management Portal (System Administration > Configuration > Connectivity > External Language Servers), click Create External Language Server and select Remote for Server Type.
Instead of using the Management Portal, you can change Remote Server in the Config.GatewaysOpens in a new tab class (as described in the class reference) or by editing the CPF in a text editor (as described in the Editing the Active CPF section of the “Introduction to the Configuration Parameter File” chapter in this book).
