Summary of What You Must Configure

After you have completed the installation of the SequeLink Client and SequeLink Server as documented in the SequeLink Installation Guide, you must configure a client component. The client component you configure depends on your SequeLink Client:

For an ODBC Client or ADO Client, you must configure a client data source.
For a JDBC Client, you must configure a client data source or a connection URL.
For a .NET Client, you must configure a connection string.

A client data source is a minimal data source that is stored on the client. It provides connection information-a server, a port, and a server data source-to a specific server. By default, a client data source uses the default server data source for the characteristics of the connection between the SequeLink Client and the database.

This default server data source, named Default, is automatically created and configured when you install the SequeLink Server. A server data source defines the characteristics of the connection between the SequeLink Client and the database. You can modify the definition of the default server data source if needed. See "Planning SequeLink® Data Access Services" for information about the default behavior of the default server data source.

NOTE: A server data source, although it resides on the server, also contains settings that are relevant to the SequeLink Client. Centralizing data source information on the server allows SequeLink to provide "near-zero" client administration.
