Attribute

ServiceVersion (sver)

Purpose

Determines which versions of a service the driver returns metadata for when the service has multiple versions.

Valid Values

0 | 1

Behavior

If set to 0 (Latest), the driver returns metadata only for the latest version of the service(s) to which it connects. For example, if the service has both V=001 and V=002, the driver returns metadata only for V=002.

If set to 1 (All), the driver returns metatdata for every version of the service to which it connects.

Notes

  • If a service has only one version, the driver returns only the metadata for that version.

  • If a value is specified for the Service List (ServiceList) option, the driver returns metadata only for the services and versions specified by the Service List and Service Version option.

  • If metadata is required only for the latest version of a service, set this option to 0 (Latest), the default. This improves performance at connection by limiting the overhead associated with fetching metadata for multiple versions.

Default Value

0 (Latest)
