Launching RMXCI

To launch RMXCI, use one of the following methods:

  • From the MXDM toolbar, click SQL/MX Remote Conversational Interface (). For more information on the MXDM toolbar, see ). For more information on the MXDM toolbar, see Using the MXDM toolbar.

  • Select Tools > SQL/MX Remote Conversational Interface.

The RMXCI window appears. If the Auto Logon option is enabled, you can use the user credentials of the currently selected SQL/MX database that is connected to log on to RMXCI. The data source, catalog, and schema name also are considered while logging on. To set auto logon properties, see Setting Auto Logon options.

You can launch more than one RMXCI window using the described methods. If you set the Auto Logon option, the user credentials of the currently selected SQL/MX database that is connected to log on to RMXCI are used each time.

If you select Tools > SQL/MX Remote Conversational Interface, the RMXCI window appears with a prompt ready to execute the RMXCI commands. If RMXCI is launched and you are not logged on to a system, RMXCI does not use the Auto logon option. Instead, RMXCI launches and prompts you for an IP address and port number, which is the default in RMXCI.
