OpenAccess SDK allows you to define the custom connection attributes and their default values in the oadm.ini, the configuration file of the OpenAccess SDK Server, using the DataSourceIPCustomProperties service attribute.
For example:
AttributeName=DataSourceIPCustomProperties
AttributeType=string
AttributeSize=16384
AttributeValidationType=none
AttributeValidationStringParam_=0
AttributeValidationIntegerParam_=0
AttributeDisplayGroup=Advanced
AttributeServiceTypeScope=1
AttributeServiceTypeScope0=10
The custom connection properties are key=value pairs separated by semicolons, and surrounded by parentheses to distinguish them from the other connection properties. For example:
The defined custom properties are sent to the ODBC Client. The values for the properties can be overwritten by the application using one of the following methods:
• The Custom Properties entry field on the Windows setup dialog
• The Custom Properties entry in the ODBC data source (odbc.ini) on Linux/UNIX
• The Custom Properties entry in the ODBC data source in the Windows registry
Refer to the OpenAccess SDK Administrator’s Guide for more information about the DataSourceIPCustomProperties service attribute.
