Specify a connection type for a DID

Use KCM Core Administrator to specify a connection type for a KCM DID. You can set three connection configuration levels:

1. For all DIDs containing entries, using a specific connection type
2. For each DID
3. For each DID module

Some settings also have a fourth level: you can specify command line parameters when using the APIs.

KCM searches these levels in reverse order, starting with the command line parameters, and uses the first value it encounters. If it cannot find a value for a specific setting, it uses a default. Otherwise, an error is generated.

You can combine several connection types in a single DID. Each DID module uses its own connection type. Consequently, you can combine settings for multiple connection types in the DID settings and have more than one connection to a database, data source or server per KCM connection.
