The Data Access Component (
DAC) allows the DataFlux Data Management Server to communicate with databases and manipulate data. The DAC uses Open Database
Connectivity (
ODBC) and Threaded Kernel Table Services (TKTS).
ODBC database source names (DSNs) are not managed by the DAC. In the Windows operating environment, ODBC DSNs are managed
by the Microsoft ODBC Administrator. In the UNIX and Linux operating
environments, ODBC DSNs are created with the dfdbconf tool and tested with the dbdfview tool. TKTS DSNs are managed by the
DAC. TKTS DSNs stored in the
DSN directory.
The DAC is configured with the following two options in the DataFlux Data Management Server’s app.cfg file. If necessary,
the options
can be moved to the macro.cfg file.
