Connecting a Client to a Data Source
the name of the Server Data source and other connection details as part of the 
connect API call.
2. The association server grants the connection request and associates the client 
application with an available MXCS SQL server for the data source. (If the 
association server does not find the requested data source name, it assigns a 
server associated with the default data source.)
3. The client application sends a connection request to the MXCS SQL server that 
was assigned by the association server. If the user information is not valid, the 
connection is rejected.
4. When the client application disconnects, the MXCS SQL server notifies the 
association server that it is available for connections from other clients and returns 
to the server data source pool.
Note. If a client tries to connect to a server data source that is stopped, MXCS rejects the 
connection.
