You can configure ECDA Option for ODBC properties on the server level, the access service library level, or an individual access service level.
DirectConnect configuration properties are grouped as:
Server configuration files – consist of the properties that manage a particular DirectConnect server.
Access service library configuration files – consist of general library configuration values and configuration sets for all access services associated with a particular access service library.
Access service configuration properties – define a particular access service and are stored in the access service library configuration file.
When you install a DirectConnect server, the default configurations allow the server to run. For each access service you create within each server, you must provide additional configuration properties that define the connectivity to your target database system.
You can set access services to be enabled at start-up through a configuration setting. If this value is set to no, you must manually enable the access service before it can be used.
For information about configuring access service libraries and access services, including instructions on creating new access services, see the access services users guide for your database system.
Changes that you make with a text editor do not take effect until you restart the server. However, most changes that you make with DirectConnect Manager can take effect immediately.
You can use DirectConnect Manager as a guide to the properties that can be changed, as well as the valid values for each property.
