Open an Editing Session in Windows

The Select Directory Service dialog box allows you to open a session with a directory service.

Open a session with:

• Any directory service that has a driver listed in the libtcl.cfg file

• The sql.ini file

1. • Double-click on the local name of the directory service you want to connect to, as listed in the DS Name box, or

   • Click on the local name of the directory service you want to connect to, as listed in the DS Name box, and click the OK button.

     dsedit uses the SYBASE environment variable to locate the libtcl.cfg file. If the SYBASE environment variable is not set correctly, dsedit cannot locate the libtcl.cfg file.

     The session number and local name of the directory service appear in the header bar.

dsedit allows you to have multiple sessions open at one time.

1. Choose Open Directory Service from the File menu.

   The Select Directory Service box appears.

2. Double-click the local name of the directory service to which you want to be connected (or click on the directory service name and click OK).

If you have multiple sessions open at one time, activate a session before you can work in it, by either:

1. • Clicking in the session window

   • Choosing the session from the Windows menu

   The dsedit title bar shows which session is active.
