START DS
START DS
This command starts one DS on one service or on all services if the asterisk (*) wild
card is specified. New clients can then use this DS. If the DS is already started, START
DS returns a success message.
Command syntax is:.
obj-name
[[[\system-name.][$service-name | *].]ds-name]
system-name
is the name of the current system of up to 16 CPUs with the same Expand
address and where the target MXCS process is running. system-name and
service-name identify one service instance.
service-name
is the name of the MXCS association server that handles or processes the
command where this DS should be started. Using the asterisk (*) wild card
indicates to start all services, which enables the DS to be started in all services
for one system on one command.
ds-name
is the name of the DS to be started and cannot be the asterisk (*) wild card.
Considerations—START DS

START DS is a sensitive command.

The asterisk (*) wild card is not supported for DS name.
Example—START DS
This example starts the DS TDM_Default_DataSource for the service $AS:
CS>start ds $AS.”TDM_Default_DataSource”;
-- START DS \ODBC.$AS.TDM_Default_DataSource Successful
START DS [obj-name];
Note. ds-name is an SQL identifier and is therefore case-sensitive. When using lowercase
characters, enclose ds-name in quotes to preserve the lowercase characters. Failure to do so
causes ds-name to be automatically uppercased during command execution, which can cause
errors. Enter the default ds-name as
"TMD_Default_DataSource"
