Server configuration properties

Go Up to Additional Data for Server Configuration

You can request the Services Manager to report the contents of the InterBase configuration file on the server. This file is in the installation directory of InterBase, and is named ibconfig on all platforms.

The result buffer cluster consists of the isc_info_svc_get_config identifier, followed by a two-byte number of data. The data follow as pairs of single-byte configuration entry identifiers and four-byte values. Configuration entries with string values, such as TMP_DIRECTORY, are not currently supported by this cluster.

Some of the configuration items are relevant only on specific platforms. The Services Manager returns only configuration data that are relevant to the respective server platform that runs the Services Manager.

The Services Manager does not return values for configuration items that are set to their default value.
