Avoiding Unavailable Protocols
It may be possible to improve performance on the initial connection to the database by disabling database communications support for any protocols that are not available on your network or that you do not wish to use.
In order to perform any of the procedures in this section you must have one of the following:
•
full administrator-level rights on the machine where the database engine is running
•
membership in the Pervasive_Admin group defined on the machine where the database engine is running.
*Note: In order to perform any of the tasks in this section, you must be seated at the console of the machine running the Workgroup engine. You cannot remotely configure the Workgroup engine.

To Remove Support for a Network Protocol
*Note: This procedure does not affect your operating system configuration in any way. This procedure only prevents the database communications system from attempting communications on unavailable or undesired protocols.
1
Access Control Center (PCC) from the operating system Start menu or Apps screen.
2
In the PCC PSQL Explorer, double-click Engines to display a list of the engines registered with PCC.
3
Right-click the target engine then click Properties. Login if prompted.

Click Communication Protocols, and the list of Supported protocols displays. Selected protocols are considered available for use by the engine.
5
Clear the check box for any of the selected protocols that are not supported on your network or that you do not wish to use.
You must leave at least one protocol selected.
6
Click OK then restart the database engine for the changes to take effect.
*Tip: Remember that you also need to confirm that your client computers are configured to use the protocol remaining in the Supported protocols list. Please refer to Chapter 10, Configuring Network Communications for Clients.
