Accessing Data Sources from Clients

The connect strings used to access data sources on a Windows server are the same for all UNIX and Windows client platforms.

To access a local data source:

1. Start the database(s).

2. Start the client application.

To access a remote data source:

1. Start the database(s) on the remote Windows server.

2. Start the Windows server daemon.

3. Start the client application.

Server Daemons

This section describes how to start the server daemons using the icons installed with Entire Access or the Windows Start menu.

To start, ping, or stop the Windows server daemon or the multithreaded server, double-click on the appropriate icon (see the table below).

Alternatively, from the Start menu, you can choose Programs > Entire Access n.n.n, and Start, Ping or Stop it.

Server Type	Default Server Number	Icons Created During Installation
Singlethreaded Server	2000	Start Singlethreaded Server Ping Singlethreaded Server Stop Singlethreaded Server
Multithreaded Server	2022	Start Multithreaded Server Ping Multithreaded Server Stop Multithreaded Server

To select a server number other than the default value, you have to edit the batch file.
