On a high/low byte-order system, an ISAM client that was built with both TCP/IP and shared memory support did not attempt a shared memory connection when the host name was specified as localhost. If no host name was specified, or the system's host name (registered in the DNS) was specified, the client did attempt a shared memory connection.
Examples:
When no host name was specified, ctadmn attempted a shared memory connection:
ctadmn ADMIN ADMIN """" FAIRCOMS
When localhost was specified, ctadmn did not attempt a shared memory connection:
ctadmn ADMIN ADMIN """" FAIRCOMS@localhost
The logic has been modified to correct this.
