LocalOnly communication parameter [LOCAL]

Usage 

TCP/IP, HTTP, HTTPS

Values 

YES, NO

Default 

NO

Description 

The LocalOnly (LOCAL) communication parameter allows a client to choose to connect only to a server on the local machine, if one exists. If no server with the matching engine name is found on the local machine, a server will not be autostarted.

The LocalOnly (LOCAL) communication parameter is only useful if DoBroadcast=ALL (the default)

LocalOnly=YES uses the regular broadcast mechanism, except that broadcast responses from servers on other machines are ignored.

You can use the LocalOnly [LOCAL) communication parameter with the server to restrict connections to the local machine. Connection attempts from remote machines will not find this server, and the Locate [dblocate] utility will not see this server. Running a server with the LocalOnly [LOCAL) communication parameter set to YES allows the network server to run as a personal server without experiencing connection or CPU limits.
