[Glass] remote configuration for topaz?

[Dale K. Henrichs]

Welcome to the world of GemStone NRS (Network Resource Strings) ... the syntax for the NRS is documented in Appendix C of the SysAdmin Guide, but that isn't very helpful. 

For connecting to a remote host from topaz, you need to define something called the `gemnetid` before you login. For example, the following tells topaz to connect to a netldi server on port 30733 : 

set gemnetid !#netldi:30733!gemnetobject 

For remote servers, you need to supply a remote host name. Here's one I use for connecting from my mac to my workstation in the office: 

set gemnetid !tcp at foos#netldi:41779#task!gemnetobject 

The good news is that I didn't have to figure out the magic sequence for the above, I generated the above from the OGStandardSessionDescription that I used with GemTools and you can do the same by printing the result of sending the #gemNRS message to your session descirption instance: 

(OGStandardSessionDescription new 
name: 'commandLineGemstoneRemote'; 
stoneHost: 'localhost'; 
stoneName: 'seaside'; 
gemHost: 'localhost'; 
netLDI: '50330'; 
userId: 'DataCurator'; 
password: 'swordfish'; 
backupDirectory: '/opt/gemstone/product/seaside/data/backups/'; 
yourself) gemNRS 

produces: 

'!tcp at localhost#netldi:50330#task!gemnetobject' 

which you can use to `set gemnetid` for topaz: 

set gemnetid !tcp at localhost#netldi:50330#task!gemnetobject 

BTW the #stoneNRS message will produce a string suitable to `set gemstone` for topaz: 

set gemstone !tcp at localhost#server!seaside 

Now you can look at Appendix C and understand what these two strings mean:)

| Hi guys, it seems I don't know how to configure a topaz ini file for
| my remote gemstone.

| With GemTools I can login this way:

| OGStandardSessionDescription new
| name: 'commandLineGemstoneRemote';
| stoneHost: 'localhost';
| stoneName: 'seaside';
| gemHost: 'localhost';
| netLDI: '50330';
| userId: 'DataCurator';
| password: 'swordfish';
| backupDirectory: '/opt/gemstone/product/seaside/data/backups/';
| yourself.

| Note that I am using SSH tunnel from my localhost:50330 to my remote
| machine.

| I tried a topaz file like this:

| set user DataCurator pass swordfish

| set gemstone seaside
| login

| And call topaz this way:

| topaz -I localGemStone

| but it seems it is not enough.

| Do you know what I should do?

| Thanks in advance!
