ECS 3.6.2 Data Access Guide

CAS connection string

When the client or the application tries to connect to ECS using the CAS protocol, it connects with the first node. If the first node is not reachable, then the application tries to connect with the other IPs/nodes by traversing left to right in the connection string. The application stops trying when all the nodes in the connection string are down or not reachable.

NOTE: ECS recommends mentioning the IPs of all the nodes in the connection string for an uninterrupted connection. For more information, see KB 000537533.
The FPPoolOpen API considers connection string as an argument. Some examples:
  • 10.0.0.1,10.0.0.2?mypeafile.pea
  • 10.0.0.1,10.0.0.2?name=profilename,secret=secret
  • 10.0.0.1,10.0.0.2,secondary=10.1.0.10?name=profilename,secret=secret
NOTE:
  • The connection strings can be of several forms and can be more than a collection of IP addresses. See the SDK Programmers Guide for a complete list.
  • In the connection string , you can use alternate VDC IPs such as ECS1_IP1, ECS2_IP1, ECS1_IP2, ECS2_IP2.
  • The client or the application user interface should allow the admin to enter a free format string. The free format string allows the user to configure a wide array of connection string possibilities.
