Introduction : About OpenAccess SDK Services and Data Sources : Service Attributes
 

Service Attributes

When a client application connects to a data access service using an OpenAccess SDK Client, the data access functionality of the session is governed by a set of service and data source attributes for the data access service.
When you create a service, only commonly used service attributes are included in the default configuration. The newly created service contains a default server data source called Default, which is configured with the default values entered during installation.
To configure other service or data source attributes, you must add each attribute explicitly to your OpenAccess SDK configuration. You configure OpenAccess SDK services and their attributes using the OpenAccess SDK Manager.
Configuration attributes beginning with Service, such as ServiceConnectionModel, are data access service attributes that are associated with a service.
Service attributes are static or dynamic:
*Static attributes require you to restart a service when you add or change the attribute before the change becomes effective.
*Dynamic attributes become effective after the attribute is added or changed and the configuration is saved. Most dynamic attributes affect the behavior of a database connection; therefore, when you add or change an attribute, the new values are used for the next connection. Active connections do not use the new values.
See OpenAccess SDK Service Attributes for a complete list and description of the service attributes.
