You can configure ECDA Option for ODBC properties on the server level, the access service library level, or on an individual access service level. To help you do this, DirectConnect configuration properties are grouped as follows:
Server configuration files, which consist of the properties that manage a particular DirectConnect server.
Access Service Library configuration files, which consist of general library configuration values and configuration sets for all access services associated with a particular access service library.
Access service configuration properties, which 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, then you need to manually enable the access service before it can be used. For information on configuring access service libraries and access services, including instructions on creating new access services, see the ECDA Option for ODBC Users Guide for Access Services for your database system.
You can configure properties using DirectConnect Manager or a text editor. Sybase recommends using DirectConnect Manager for the following reasons:
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 be made to 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.
