Creating a Service

When you install OpenAccess SDK in a local configuration, at least one data access service and one or more service templates are installed. In most cases, the service templates provide a configuration that can be used with few modifications.

Some service attributes are not defined in the templates. You can use the OpenAccess SDK Manager to modify these attributes as well as the default service attributes defined in the service templates:

• Service for C/C++
• Service for Java
• Service for .NET

You can also use the OpenAccess SDK Manager to create and modify additional services for the local configuration.

For more information, see:

• Configuring the OpenAccess SDK SQL Engine describes the typical attributes required for configuring a service to use the OpenAccess SDK SQL Engine.
• Configuring an OpenAccess SDK IP for a Third-Party SQL Engine describes the typical attributes required to configure a service to use a third-party SQL engine.
• OpenAccess SDK Service Attributes describes all of the OpenAccess SDK service attributes.

To create a data access service:

1. Under the OpenAccess SDK configuration file node in the console tree, right-click Services, and then select New / Service.

2. On the Select Service type window, the wizard prompts you to choose the type of service that you want to create.

   

   From the Service Type drop-down list, select the type of service; then, click Next.

3. On the Service information window, type the name that you want to use for the new service in this configuration. The service name must be unique (not used by another service).

   

4. Click Finish to create the new service.
