Connection Service

The Connection Service enables applications to do the following:

• connect to IOM servers that use the IOM Bridge Protocol.

• use the Java Connection Factory to access existing connection objects and to create new connection objects for various server configurations.

• use advanced connection management features such as connection pooling, failover, and load balancing which are available through the Java Connection Factory.

For detailed usage documentation and examples, see Using the Java Connection Factory in this section and com.sas.services.connection.platform in the Foundation Services class documentation.

For information about configuring IOM servers, see the SAS Integration Technologies: Server Administrator's Guide.
