Shared server definition computer
The shared server definition computer is the machine hosting the database server
instance with which client computers connect if you are deploying IBM Informix in
a networked Windows environment.
Specify where you want the sqlhosts registry information for the shared server
definition to be stored. You can select either the local host machine or another
computer that hosts a central, shared repository of sqlhosts settings for multiple
database servers in the network.
If you specify another computer on the network, you must set the
INFORMIXSQLHOSTS
environment variable on your local computer to the name of the
computer that stores the sqlhosts information.
