The Star Server supports Ingres Distributed Option. Ingres Distributed Option is a distributed extension to the DBMS Server, which allows data from multiple independent databases to be accessed as if it were contained in a single, centralized relational database. In this way, Ingres Distributed Option provides client applications with transparent access to enterprise-wide data.
Star Server parameters include the number of connections supported by Star Servers, accounting data maintained, and the maximum number of tables that can be kept in the cache at one time.
Distributed recovery can be disabled, meaning that the Star Servers created with this definition do not recover distributed transactions at startup time. This feature is helpful if there is a problem with the installation, but you want it to continue working while the problem is being investigated. Like the DBMS Server, configuration is usually required to provide optimal performance in a given scenario.
For instructions on configuring Star Server parameters, see the Parameters Page, Star Server Component in the Configuration Manager online help.

The Name Server parameters include the time interval for checking for active servers, and session limits. The Name Server rarely needs to be reconfigured.
