{ dbsrv12 | dbsrv12 } -xm seconds

All operating systems and database servers.

If the computer on which the database server is running is connected to a new network and the -xm option is specified, the change is detected and the database server starts listening for connections on the new network. Also, if the computer is disconnected from a network, the database server stops listening on that network.

The -xm option is disabled by default if the SQL Anywhere application is not running on a portable device. The default setting on portable devices is 120 seconds. To disable the -xm option, specify 0. Use the IsPortableDevice property to check if the SQL Anywhere application is running on a portable device. See IsPortableDevice server property.

Specifying this option does not affect the performance of HTTP or HTTPS listeners.

If you have specified the MyIP (ME) network protocol option, monitoring with the -xm option is disabled.

If a network interface is disconnected, all listeners associated with the network interface are shut down.

Use the sa_server_option system procedure to change the setting of this option without shutting down the database server. See sa_server_option system procedure.
