Setting Up an OpenAccess SDK Service and Data Source
A client connects to your data source by connecting to an OpenAccess service that has been configured to access your data source through your IP code. The OpenAccess SDK installation sets up a service OpenAccessSDK810_C_SQL and provides a template for C/C++ that you can use to create your own service. Initially, you should use the existing service OpenAccessSDK810_C_SQL and create a data source entry under it instead of trying to create a new service.
You must configure the following Service and Data Source settings to load your IP code and to make it available when a connection is received by the OpenAccess SDK Server or the OpenAccess Local Server.
• ServiceIPModule - the name of the DLL or shared library created for the IP (for example, yourip.dll). The file is loaded by the OpenAccess SDK Server (or the Local Server) when a connection is made to this service.
• DataSourceLogonMethod – if you want your IP to authenticate based on user name and password passed in from the client, then you set this data source attribute to DBMSLogon(UID,PWD); otherwise, leave it set to Anonymous.
Refer to the OpenAccess SDK Administrator’s Guide for information about how to configure a new data source or to set up a new OpenAccess SDK service for your IP based on the provided C/C++ template. Initially, you should use the existing OpenAccessSDK810_C_SQL service and add a data source for configuring your IP. Assuming you call this data source yourip, the OpenAccess SDK Client references the yourip data source entry within the OpenAccessSDK810_C_SQL service.
Note: If the value of the ServiceIPModule changes, or if the shared library in the ServiceIPModule changes, you must stop and restart the service for configuration changes to take effect.
