ASA Database Administration Guide
Connection and Communication Parameters
Network communications parameters
TCP/IP
Client side only
YES, NO
YES
When connecting over TCP using the DoBraodcast=NONE parameter, the client makes a TCP connection, then verifies that the name of the server found is the same as the one it's looking for. Specifying VerifyServerName=NO skips the verification of the server name. This allows Adaptive Server Anywhere clients to connect to an Adaptive Server Anywhere server if they know only an IP address/port.
The server name must still be specified in the connect string, but it is ignored. The VerifyServerName (VERIFY) communication parameter is used only if DoBroadcast=NONE is specified.
NoteWe recommend that you only use this parameter in the rare circumstances when it is not possible to give each server a unique server name, and use that unique name to connect. Giving each server a unique server name, and connecting to the server using that name is still the best way to connect. |
