Programming SQL-SCM Applications

The SQL-SCM API is constructed as multibyte character and Unicode versions of two functions: SQLSCMLocalServiceControl and SQLSCMGetLocalServiceState.

SQLSCMLocalServiceControl implements Microsoft® SQL Server™ (MSSQLServer), SQL Server Agent (SQLServerAgent), and MS DTC (MSDTC) service start and stop. For the MSSQLServer service, SQLSCMLocalServiceControl implements service pause and continue.

SQLSCMGetLocalServiceState implements service execution state determination.

Application development using SQL-SCM follows that used by any C/C++ application using an API implemented as functions exported from a DLL. The developer:

• Includes Wn95scm.h in any module file requiring access to the API.
• Codes function calls to functions in the API.
• Compiles and links, linking to W95scm.lib.

Note Service state constants, such as SERVICE_RUNNING, are defined in Windows.h. Include Windows.h in modules using SQLSCMGetLocalServiceState.
