- The ODXSRVR configuration file is required when using
ODXSRVR as a Windows NT service.
- Preconnected processes will automatically establish a
predetermined number of connections to a specified environment
when the listener is started, eliminating the connect wait
time for client requests. Each environment that will have
preconnected processes be defined in both the Preconnect
section and in its own section in the ODXSRVR configuration
file.
- The NSADMIN (Network Services Administrator) utility provides
a means of remotely monitoring and administering an ODXSRVR
process running on any server, from a Windows client machine.
In order for NSADMIN to connect to a listener process, the
NSADMIN section must be defined in the configuration file.
- Other features such as security checking, auditing and
logging, debugging, data conversion, connect options and
more can be enabled, disabled, and defined in the ODXSRVR
configuration file.
The configuration file is passed to ODXSRVR as an argument
at the command prompt.

CompressData determines whether data sent from server to
client is compressed. 0 = disable, 1 = enable
CompressData=1

text such as Hebrew and Arabic reads correctly from right
to left. 0 = disable character reversal (display left to right),
1 = enable character reversal (display right to left).
HebrewReversal=0
Protocol indicates data communication protocol between client
and server. TCP Sockets TCP/IP sockets connection (only protocol
currently supported)

on Windows NT. 0 = don't use mapped memory IPC, 1 = setup/use
mapped memory.

TrackSQL determines if SQL Query statements are allowed to
be traced by NSAdmin while they are executing. There is a
small amount of extra overhead when enabled, but likely well
worth the advantage in order to view a client's query from
NSAdmin and if necessary, stop its process.
TrackSQL=1

that want to use the preconnections for this environment must
have the "DATASOURCENAME" exactly the same as this
name. It is possible to have multiple entries in this section.

clients allowed for this listener. Required when running multiple
ODXSRVR listeners on the same host. These settings are ignored
in a Unix forking environment when no preconnected process
are used.
