Configuring data access driver parameters
10.1 Configuring driver parameters
To configure data access for a particular data access driver, you can either edit the driver configuration
files to adjust the parameter settings, or create your own database entries if you need connections for
specific databases of your environment.
Note:
For each SAP BusinessObjects application that uses Connection Server, the associated Readme file
contains information on command line utilities that you can use to check your RDBMS and data access
driver configuration. These utilities can create log files that trace interactive analysis server activity.
Refer to the readme file for the release for instructions on the use of these utilities.

10.1.1 Data access configuration files
The following configuration files control data access driver configurations for each defined connection:
• cs.cfg
This file defines global parameters that apply to all connections. It is located in the connection
server-install-dir\connectionServer directory.
• <driver>.sbo
This file is specific to each data access driver. The <driver> placeholder stands for the data source
to which the configuration file applies. Each SBO file is in a sub-directory of the connectionServer
directory, where the sub-directory is named after the database network layer or middleware, for
example
connectionserver-install-dir\connectionServer\oracle for Oracle databases.
