Service Name Redirection File Format

Activate the service name redirection file by configuring the ServiceRedirectionFile property.

The ServiceRedirectionFile property indicates the name of the Service Redirection file, which is a text file consisting of four columns separated by tabs, that has as many rows as necessary need to define the redirections.

Using a text editor or DirectConnect Manager, you can change the name of the file. If you use a text editor, be sure that it inserts actual tabs, not just spaces that simulate tabs.

The format of a service name redirection file is:

requested_service | user_id | application_name | assigned_service

Service name redirection rules are as follows:

Columns must be separated by a single tab character.
Wildcard characters (asterisks) are allowed in the requested_service, user_id, and application_name columns.
Comments are not allowed.
Blank lines can be added for easier viewing.
Only the user_id column is case-sensitive.

If used, a service name redirection file must be valid for the server to start successfully. A valid file has exactly four columns on each line.
