DS_TimeLimit

Description

When you access a Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise database in PowerBuilder 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 PowerBuilder.

NoteUsing 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.

Applies to

Syntax

DS_TimeLimit='value' 

Parameter

Description

value

Specifies the maximum number of seconds that you want a directory search to last. You can also specify 'no_limit' (the default) to indicate that there is no time limit for the directory search.

If the specified time limit expires and the target has not been found, the directory search is unsuccessful and the PowerBuilder connection fails.

Default

DS_TimeLimit='no_limit'

Usage

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 PowerBuilder 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.
