DS_TimeLimit database parameter
Description
When you access an SAP Adaptive Server Enterprise database
in PowerBuilder through Open Client, DS_TimeLimit 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.)
Some directory service providers and drivers support the use
of time limits for a directory search. For those providers and drivers,
DS_TimeLimit specifies the maximum number of seconds that
a directory search lasts.
By default, DS_TimeLimit specifies that there is
no time limit for a directory search.
You must specify a value for DS_TimeLimit before connecting
to the database in PowerBuilder.

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.

Set Release parameter
For DS_TimeLimit to take effect, you must also

(CT-Lib) behavior. See the description of the Release parameter
for more information.
Requirements for use
To use DS_TimeLimit or any other parameter supporting
Open Client directory services, you must meet certain requirements for
using directory services in your PowerBuilder application. For details,
see “Requirements for using Open Client directory services” in Connecting

Corresponding CT-Lib connection property
Specifying a value for DS_TimeLimit sets the corresponding
