"N" to "P" Configuration Settings
NLS_LANG
This Unix-only language setting is for Oracle access.
Please consult your Oracle documentation for information regarding specific valid values for your operating system.
Environments - Client
Unix Environment Variable: NLS_LANG
NOLOGO
If set to 1, this turns of the CONNX.AVI file.
Default - NOLOGO = 0
Environments - Client, Windows
Configuration Manager: CONNX Settings; Current Key = CONNX; Key Value/Value Name = NOLOGO
NOPROCEDURES
If set to 1, this setting disables the import of stored procedures.
Default - NOPROCEDURES = 0 (import stored procedures)
Environments - Client, Windows
Configuration Manager: CONNX Settings; Current Key = CONNX; Key Value/Value Name = NOPROCEDURES
NOVIEWS
If set to 1, this setting disables the import of views.
Default - NOVIEWS = 0 (import views)
Environments - Client, Windows
Configuration Manager: CONNX Settings; Current Key = CONNX; Key Value/Value Name = NOVIEWS
NOWAIT
If set to 1, this setting makes CONNX add the "NO WAIT" clause to the end of the oracle SELECT … FOR UPDATE command.
Default - NOWAIT = 0
Environments - Client, Windows, Unix
Configuration Manager: CONNX Settings; Current Key = CONNX\ORACLE; Key Value/Value Name = NOWAIT
Unix Registry Setting: CONNX.ORACLE.NOWAIT
NUMBERCONVERT
For either Oracle or PostgreSQL, add the following registry entry to store fractional numbers in a number field:
NUMBERCONVERT = 1
Environments - Client, Windows
For Oracle:
Configuration Manager: CONNX Settings; Current Key = CONNX\ORACLE; Key Value/Value Name = NUMBERCONVERT
Unix Registry Setting: CONNX.ORACLE.NUMBERCONVERT
For PostgreSQL:
Configuration Manager: CONNX Settings; Current Key = CONNX\POSTGRESQL; Key Value/Value Name = NUMBERCONVERT
Unix Registry Setting: CONNX.POSTGRESQL.NUMBERCONVERT
OLEDB
This setting is used by the CONNX Installation utility and does not need to be edited. It specifies whether the OLEDB Desktop Adapter was selected during the last installation.
OLEDBE
This setting is used by the CONNX Installation utility and does not need to be edited. It specifies whether the OLEDB Enterprise Adapter was selected during the last installation.
OLEINIT
This setting controls how CONNX initializes the OLE Subsystem. Based on what it finds in OLEINT, CONNX initializes the OLE Subsystem as either Apartment-Threaded or Multi-Threaded.
Apartment-threading, while allowing for multiple threads of execution, serializes all incoming calls by requiring that calls to methods of objects created by this thread always run on the same thread - the apartment/thread that created them.
Multi-threading (also called free-threading) allows calls to methods of objects created by this thread to be run on any thread. There is no serialization of calls - many calls may occur to the same method or to the same object or simultaneously. Multi-threaded object concurrency offers the highest performance and takes the best advantage of multi-processor hardware for cross-thread, cross-process, and cross-machine calling, since calls to objects are not serialized in any way.
We recommend to set OLEINIT = 0 (Multi-Threaded). This allows the most flexibility and provides the best performance for multi-threaded applications. However, some OLEDB Providers may required their OLE Subsystem to be initialized as Apartment-Threaded. If this is necessary, set OLEINIT = 2.
0 | CONNX initializes the OLE Subsystem as Apartment-Threaded. |
2 | CONNX initializes the OLE Subsystem as Multi-Threaded. |
Default - OLEINIT = 0
Environments - Client, Windows
Configuration Manager: CONNX Settings; Current Key = CONNX; Key Value/Value Name = OLEINIT
OLDERVERSION
Not for typical customer usage. Please only set if instructed to by CONNX Technical Support.
OPATTRIBUTES
OPATTRIBUTES instructs Adabas SQL Gateway to pass a specific attribute string to Adabas on the OP (open) call. Usage:
OPATTRIBUTES = <OP attribute string>
For example, to set the time zone on the OP call using the TZ attribute to 'America/Vancouver', set the setting value to the following:
OPATTRIBUTES = TZ='America/Vancouver'
This will cause Adabas SQL Gateway to pass the string TZ='America/Vancouver' as an attribute on the OP call.
Note:
For the Mainframe, if the the OP attribute string contains an equal sign (=), the equal sign should be replaced with a comma (,) in the CNXPARMS file. Here is an example: =OPATTRIBUTES=TZ,'America/Vancouver'
Default - not set.
Environments - Client, Server,Windows, Mainframe, Unix, Adabas
Configuration Manager: CONNX Settings; Current Key = CONNX\Adabas; Key Value/Value Name = OPATTRIBUTES
