Configure Client Connections

When an SAP ASE client scans the interfaces file for a server name, the client uses the first “query” entry it encounters for the server’s entry. This makes configuring clients to use multiple network connections less straightforward than configuring the server ports.

You have two options:

Use the same DSQUERY name for all clients. The interfaces files on the different machines contain different network names.
Use different DSQUERY names for the clients. The interfaces files on all the machines are the same, but they contain multiple DSQUERY names.

Manage One Network-Independent DSQUERY Name
You can maintain one DSQUERY name for all clients, on all networks, and alter each network’s interfaces file accordingly.
Using Different DSQUERY Names
You can use different DSQUERY names for each network listener.
