When you access a Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise database in DataWindow Designer through Open Client, DS_TimeLimit is one of several parameters that you can set to enable network-based directory services in your application. (For other directory services parameters, see the See Also section.)
Some directory service providers and drivers support the use of time limits for a directory search. For those providers and drivers, DS_TimeLimit specifies the maximum number of seconds that a directory search lasts.
By default, DS_TimeLimit specifies that there is no time limit for a directory search.
You must specify a value for DS_TimeLimit before connecting to the database in DataWindow Designer.
Using third-party directory service providers
For information about the third-party directory
service providers and operating system platforms that Sybase has
tested with Open Client directory services, see the Open Client
documentation.
SYC Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise
DS_TimeLimit='value'
Parameter |
Description |
|---|---|
value |
Specifies the maximum number of seconds
that you want a directory search to last. You can also specify If the specified time limit expires and the target has not been found, the directory search is unsuccessful and the DataWindow Designer connection fails. |
DS_TimeLimit = 'no_limit'
Set Release parameter For DS_TimeLimit to take effect, you must also set the Release parameter to 11or higher to specify that your application should use the appropriate version of Sybase Open Client Client-Library (CT-Lib) behavior. See the description of the Release parameter for more information.
Requirements for use To use DS_TimeLimit or any other parameter supporting Open Client directory services, you must meet certain requirements for using directory services in your DataWindow Designer application. For details, see “Requirements for using Open Client directory services” in Connecting to Your Database.
Corresponding CT-Lib connection property Specifying a value for DS_TimeLimit sets the corresponding Sybase CT-Lib connection property named CS_DS_TIMELIMIT.
To specify that you want the directory search to last a maximum of 120 seconds (2 minutes):
Database profile Type 120 in the Directory
Search Time Limit box on the Directory Services tab in the Database
Profile Setup dialog box.
Application Type the following in code:
SQLCA.DbParameter="DS_TimeLimit = 120"
