The databases that are connected ABL and SQL clients use a secondary login broker to avoid the following limitations caused by the use of a single login broker:
  • The need to establish maximum number of remote ABL and SQL connections.
  • The need to allocate a specific pool of remote servers for ABL ( _mprosrv ) and SQL connections ( _sqlsrv2 ).
  • The need to specify a different range of TCP/IP ports for ABL and SQL remote servers.

In this section, you will learn about prerequisites for configuring the secondary broker. Then, you will learn about starting the broker using the command line utility.
