Enabling Connection Failover Using the Adaptive Server ODBC Driver User Interface (Windows)

Enable the Cluster Edition connection failover in the Adaptive Server ODBC Driver through its user interface.

  1. Open the Adaptive Server Enterprise dialog box.
  2. Go to the Connection tab.
  3. Select Enable High Availability.
  4. (optional) Enter alternate servers and ports in the Alternate Servers field using this format:
    server1:port1,server2:port2,...,serverN:portN;

In establishing a connection, the Adaptive Server ODBC Driver first attempts to connect to the primary host and port defined in the General tab of the Adaptive Server Enterprise dialog box. If Adaptive Server ODBC Driver fails to establish a connection, it then searches through the list of hosts and ports specified in the Alternate Servers field.
