Configuring client connectivity to ECDA

NoteIf you verified the ECDA access service in the previous section using isql, you have already created an entry in the sql.ini file on that machine.

The following procedure ensures that the client environment is properly connected to the LAN and to the DirectConnect server.

StepsTo add, edit or delete entries in the sql.ini and libtcl.cfg files on client machines

  1. In dsedit, verify that the service name and port number match the entry for the access service.

    NoteBe sure to use the access service name, not the DirectConnect server name.

    If you use service name redirection, refer to the DirectConnect Server Administration Guide.

  2. Configure the libtcl.cfg configuration file that contains information for each installed Net-Library driver.

    Use dsedit to view a list of the drivers installed on your machine. You can view a description of any driver by selecting it from the list.

    Client applications use the information in this file, along with information in the sql.ini file, to connect to a DirectConnect server using the correct file.
