DSConfigFile

System scope only

This configuration variable contains the name of the data source configuration file to read from and write to. The default path is to Data Source Preferences (Mac OS) or dsConfig.ini (Windows and UNIX) in the same folder as Tango 3 Server Preferences (Mac OS) or t3server.ini (Windows and UNIX).

The dsConfig.ini is structured as follows:

[Data Sources]
myFirstDS=comment on first ds
mySecondDS=comment on second ds

[myFirstDS]
TYPE=ODBC
MAXCONNECTIONS=0
SINGLETHREADED=1

[mySecondDS]
TYPE=Oracle
MAXCONNECTIONS=5
SINGLETHREADED=0

For more information on the parameters that are set in this file, see “DSConfig”.

Stanza names must be unique in this file. Stanza names are one of the following: the name of the ODBC data source, the Oracle alias or connect string, or the DAM host name.

On server startup, if DSConfigFile contains a valid path to an existing file, the contents of the file are used to set up the DSConfig variable.
