DS_Provider database parameter
Description
When you access an SAP Adaptive Server Enterprise database
in PowerBuilder through Open Client, DS_Provider is one of
several parameters that you can set to enable network-based directory
services in your application. (For other directory services parameters,
see the See Also section.)
When you use Open Client directory services, you must specify
your directory service provider names in the Open Client/Open
Server Configuration utility so that the required drivers can be
loaded for each provider. The default directory service provider
is the one currently specified as active in the Configuration utility.
DS_Provider lets you specify a directory service
provider name listed in the Open Client/Open Server Configuration
utility other than the default (active) provider.
The default value for DS_Provider is the provider name
currently specified as active in the Configuration utility.
You must specify a value for DS_Provider before connecting
to the database in PowerBuilder.
Using third-party directory service providers
For information about the third-party directory
service providers and operating system platforms that Sybase has
tested with Open Client directory services, see the Open Client
documentation.
