Data sources |
To connect and use your database management
system (DBMS), Tivoli Developer's Toolkit (TDT) must know about certain characteristics of

Data source configuration file |
Data source configuration information is stored in a file. This configuration file is an ASCII text file that has the same format as a Windows INI file. By default, TDT looks in your <SAI_ROOT>\CFG directory for a file called sai_sql.cfg. You may override this by setting an environment variable called SAISQLCFG to the desired file name (including path). | ||||||||

The default data
source is the one Tivoli Script uses if no data source name is given when connecting
to the database. You can have only one default data source. The default data source is
indicated by an asterisk (*) preceding the data source name in the SQL Configuration
Editor dialog box. To designate a default data source:
