Manage ECDA Option for ODBC

Use the ECDA utilities and command line to manage a server and service for the ECDA Option for ODBC.

• Creating a New DirectConnect Server
  The installer automatically creates the subdirectories and files for the ECDA installation. Use the AddServer utility to create a new DirectConnect server.
• Creating a New Access Service
  Use a text editor to edit the service library configuration file, which resides in the cfg subdirectory under the ServerName directory to create and configure an access service.
• Add a New Service to the interfaces File
  Use the dsedit utility to add the new service to the interfaces file as a server object.
• Starting an Access Service
  Use the DirectConnect Manager to start the new access service without stopping and restarting ECDA.
• Verify an Access Service
  Use one of the SQL utilities to verify that the access service is connecting to its target data source and working properly.
• Stopping an Access Service
  You can stop the access service only through DirectConnect Manager.
• Stopping a DirectConnect Server
  Use the stopsrvr utility to stop the DirectConnect server, which shuts down the server and ends all client connections.
