5 Object DS Commands
This object is a server-side data source (DS) that represents a named collection of
use, connection, and database attributes. Clients specify the desired DS at connection
time to establish the run-time environment. The DS is a permanent object that is
recorded in the MXCS administrative database.
The DS is owned by each service that is using it. The same DS has the same
configured values in each service using it, but it can have different states, trace states,
and server counts.
All services see all DSs on a system, and changes to configured values of the DS are
propagated to all services. You can start a DS instance in some services and stop it in
others. Before you can view DSs on a service, you must start the service once. You
can view DSs in the MXCS administrative database without starting a service.
