DirectConnect Manager is a Sybase Central plug-in application that allows you to configure and manage Sybase DirectConnect servers interactively from a client machine. DirectConnect Manager connects to a DirectConnect server and communicates with it through an application programming interface (API) rather than by manipulating the configuration files directly.
You can perform the following tasks with DirectConnect Manager:
Perform all of its management functions remotely: you do not need physical access to the DirectConnect server machine or directory.
Provide management services to multiple servers at the same time, including the ability to copy access service configurations from one server to another.
Change configuration properties of DirectConnect servers, access service libraries, and access services.
Create an access service by copying an existing access service and giving it a unique name.
Create new servers using DCDirector.
Start and stop existing servers using DCDirector.
Start, stop, and delete access services. (From a remote site, using DirectConnect Manager is the only way you can start an access service.)
Test the availability of a data source by creating a connection to it.
Retrieve a DirectConnect server log file or a subset of the log, and view log file messages.
View the status of an access service and data source on the desktop.
DirectConnect Manager graphically represents each DirectConnect object on a tree list or an “icon map,” a customizable workspace where you can add or remove objects. When you add a DirectConnect server to DirectConnect Manager, its server name, access service library, and any access services appear on the tree list or the icon map.
