Glossary Entry: ServerType

The Server Type or ServerType variable appears in the odbc.ini file, the udbc.ini file, the Multi-Tier Rulebook (default, oplrqb.ini), and the Administrative Assistant. You will also see the /SVT or /SERVERTYPE parameters included in JDBC, UDBC, OLE DB, and ADO.NET URLs and connect strings.

The value passed as Server Type must match a [Domain Alias] which is contained in the Multi-Tier Rulebook. This Alias typically represents the name and version of a Multi-Tier Database Agent. You may also create custom Server Types to suit your needs. Be advised, these custom Types must have a corresponding [Mapping Rule], [generic_xxx] section, and [Environment xxx] section.

Example

ServerType = Sybase 10
