IDataServerManager Interface

Initializes DataServerManager object.

Product Availability

Available with ArcGIS Engine, ArcGIS Desktop, and ArcGIS Server.

When To Use

Use this interface to initialize and connect to a Database Server.  Once connected, depending on your permissions level, you can perform administration tasks, get properties of the server and create and open geodatabases on the server.

CoClasses that implement IDataServerManager

CoClasses and Classes Description
DataServerManager Object to administer a Data Server.
[C#]

The IDataServerManager interface allows you perform general operations on a Database Server, such as Connect or Disconnect, etc.  To connect to a Database Server, you must first initialize the DataServerManager by setting the ServerName property or the InitFromFile method:

dataserverManager.ServerName = “minnie\\sqlexpress";
dataserverManager.InitFromFile ("C:\\Documents and Settings\\bobm\\Application Data\\ESRI\\ArcCatalog\\minnie_SQLEXPRESS.GDS");

Operations performed on the server service itself, such as stopping and starting the server, must be performed will disconnected from the server.

// The following code example demonstrates how to extablish a connection to a database server in order
// to open an existing workspace\geodatabase
public void esriDataSourcesGDB__IDataServerManager()
{
    // Create a Data Server Manager object
    IDataServerManager dataserverManager = new DataServerManagerClass();
    dataserverManager.ServerName = "minnie\\sqlexpress";

    dataserverManager.Connect();

    // Create a new workspace name object for the geodatabase we want to open
    IDataServerManagerAdmin dataservermanagerAdmin = (IDataServerManagerAdmin)dataserverManager;
    IWorkspaceName workspaceName = dataservermanagerAdmin.CreateWorkspaceName ("Landbase", "VERSION", "dbo.Default");

    // Open the workspace
    IName name = (IName)workspaceName;
    IWorkspace workspace = (IWorkspace)name.Open();
}

[Visual Basic 6.0]

The IDataServerManager interface allows you perform general operations on a Database Server, such as Connect or Disconnect, etc.  To connect to a Database Server, you must first initialize the DataServerManager by setting the ServerName property or the InitFromFile method:

pDSManager.ServerName = “minnie\sqlexpress"
pDSManager.InitFromFile ("C:\Documents and Settings\bobm\Application Data\ESRI\ArcCatalog\minnie_SQLEXPRESS.GDS")

Operations performed on the server service itself, such as stopping and starting the server, must be performed will disconnected from the server.

'Create a Data Server Manager object
Dim pDSManager As IDataServerManager
Set pDSManager = New esriDataSourcesGDB.DataServerManager

'Initialize the data server
pDSManager.ServerName = “myserver\sqlexpress”

‘Connect to the Data Server
pDSManager.Connect

Dim pDSManagerAdmin As IDataServerManagerAdmin
Set pDSManagerAdmin = pDSManager

‘Create a WorkspaceName to a Geodatabse
Dim pWorkspaceName As IWorkspaceName

Set pWorkspaceName = pDSManagerAdmin.CreateWorkspaceName ("Landbase", "VERSION", “dbo.Default”)

Dim pWorkspace As IWorkspace
Dim pName as IName
Set pName = pWorkspaceName

Set pWorkspace = pName.Open
