To restrict the type of connections attempted by the client.
Anywhere
String. Must be one of the following:
♦ any
♦ engine or personal server.
♦ server or client
"CommLinks connection parameter" on page 52
No value
If you set the AGENT connection parameter to engine or personal server,
the application attempts to connect only to a database server running on the
same machine as the client. It attempts the following connections:
♦ Shared memory connection
♦ Named Pipes connection, for Adaptive Server Anywhere version 6
Windows 3.x applications running on Windows NT.
♦ TCP/IP connection to a database server running on the local machine.
This is useful only for Adaptive Server Anywhere version 6 Windows
3.x applications running on Windows 95/98.
For the application to attempt a Named Pipes or TCP/IP connection, these
links must be specified in a CommLinks connection parameter. If a shared
memory link is available, it is always attempted first, even if CommLinks is
specified.
If you set the AGENT connection parameter to server or client, the client
attempts the following connection types:
♦ TCP/IP
♦ IPX
♦ NetBIOS
♦ SPX
