When connecting to the instance using ConnectionManager, specify the following values in the connection parameters of the application. Application connection parameters are parameters that specify the database IP address, host name, port number, etc., which are originally specified when connecting to the database from the application. For example, when using libpq, specify "localhost" for the host parameter and specify the port number on which the conmgr process listens for the port parameter.

Connection parameters not shown here are used directly by the instance in the second stage of the connection, connecting to the instance (connecting to an instance without the Connection Manager), and the conmgr process does not check or use it.

Connection destination address

Specify "localhost". Unix domain sockets are not allowed.

It is possible to connect to a remote conmgr process, but it should not be used for other purposes expect such as testing. This is because there is no mechanism between the application and the conmgr process to detect the remote server down or the network link down, making the Connection Manager meaningless.

Port number

Specify the value specified for the port parameter in conmgr.conf.

Connection destination instance attributes

Follow the "Target server" in the application connection switch feature. Refer to "Taget server" in "Connection Information for the Application Connection Switch Feature" in the "Application Development Guide" for information on the target server in the application connection switch feature.
