DIT base syntax

When adding or modifying a directory driver entry, you can specify a DIT base. DIT base syntax depends on the directory driver that you choose.

Windows Registry

These are two examples of Registry DIT base settings:

SOFTWARE\SYBASE\SERVER

machine_name:SOFTWARE\SYBASE\SERVER

In the second example, machine_name represents a workstation’s network name.

All DIT base entries must be relative to \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\. Key entries must exist for the DIT base key and all keys between \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ and the DIT base key. The Sybase installation program creates the \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SYBASE key. For the examples above, you need to add the SERVER key.

Use the Microsoft regedt32 tool to create any necessary keys. Registry path names are not case sensitive.

If you do not specify a DIT base, the directory driver uses the default value, SOFTWARE\SYBASE\SERVER.
