Multiple levels of Connection configuration

There are three levels of Connection configuration that can be set in the dm.ini file:

1. You can configure most Connections globally, that is for all DIDs containing entries using a specific Connection type.
2. Connections can be configured per DID.
3. Connections can be configured per DID Module.

Some settings also have a fourth level:

1. You can specify command line parameters when you use the API's.

ITP searches these levels in reverse order; command line parameter, DID Module setting, DID setting and Global setting. ITP uses the first value it encounters. If ITP can not find a value for a specific setting it will try to use a meaningful default. If this is not possible an error or warning is generated.

ITP supports seven connection types. The configuration settings differ between these connection types:

Local Connection

ODBC Connection

Oracle Connection

Mainframe Connection

XML File Connection

XML Webservices Connection

XML MQSeries Connection
