Connection Management

In EAServer 6.0, each connection manager that supports C/C++ and PowerBuilder components has its own connection library. In earlier versions of EAServer, a single connection library libjcm.dll (Windows) or libjcm.so (Solaris) handled all connection management for native connections. Separating the connection managers allows for smaller client or server footprints, and simplifies connection management.

C/C++ and PowerBuilder components require connections that are created using C/C++ code. To support C/C++ connections, EAServer 6.0 provides the new database types listed in Table 1. To manage each C/C++ connection, EAServer creates a Java object, which supports the JDBC API.

**Table 1: Connection libraries**
Database type	Java connection library	C/C++ connection library
JCM_Sybase	libjcm_sybase.dll	libct.dll
JCM_Odbc	libjcm_odbc.dll	odbcad32.dll
JCM_Odbc_Unicode	libjcm_odbcu.dll	odbcad32.dll
JCM_Oracle	libjcm_oracle.dll	oci.dll
JCM_Oracle_Unicode	libjcm_oracleu.dll	oci.dll
