Database server options
Specify how the server reacts to broadcasts.
{ dbsrv9 | dbeng9 } -sb { 0 | 1} ...
SPX, TCP/IP
Using -sb
0 causes the server not to start up any TCP/UDP broadcast listeners. In addition to forcing clients to use the DoBroadcast=NONE and HOST= options to connect to the server, this option causes the server to be unlisted when using dblocate.
Using -sb
1 causes the server to not respond to broadcasts from dblocate, while leaving connection logic unaffected. You can connect to the server by specifying LINKS=tcpip and ENG=<name>.
