Starting EAServer, ASA, and EAServer Manager

The installer creates a preconfigured server named Jaguar. If you installed EAServer as a Windows service, the server starts automatically when you reboot your machine. Otherwise, you can start EAServer manually by choosing Start | Programs | Sybase | EAServer 5.2 | Jaguar Server.

There are many other options to start the server. For details, see “Starting the server” in Chapter 3, “Creating and Configuring Servers,” in the EAServer System Administration Guide.

With EAServer running, you can start EAServer Manager to configure new servers, packages, and components.

Starting EAServer Manager

EAServer Manager allows you to configure servers, packages, and components. EAServer Manager runs as a plug-in to Sybase Central. To start Sybase Central and EAServer Manager:

Select Start | Programs | Sybase | EAServer 5.2 | EAServer Manager, or launch the %JAGUAR%\bin\jagmgr.bat batch file.

In the Sybase Central window, select Tools | Connect.

In the New Connection dialog, select EAServer Manager and click Ok.

On the connection screen, enter:

User Name: jagadmin
Password: leave blank

You do not need to provide a password for jagadmin unless one has been established. Refer to “Administration password and OS authentication” in the EAServer Security Administration and Programming Guide for information on establishing a jagadmin password.
Host Name: your machine name or the name of the proxy host if you have selected the Use Proxy checkbox.
Port Number: your IIOP port number; the default is 9000. Or the proxy port number if you have selected the Use Proxy checkbox.
Use Proxy: Select this checkbox if you are connecting to an EAServer that is located behind a firewall, and your EAServer Manager host is on the other side of the firewall, by using a proxy or Network Address Translation (NAT) router to connect. If selected supply router or NAT information in the Host Name and Port Number fields.

Click Connect.

Double-click the EAServer Manager icon to view the property folders.

When you install EAServer, the default host name for all listeners is set to the name of the host machine and the default IIOP port number to 9000. After connecting to EAServer, you can use EAServer Manager to edit the listener properties and change the default host name and port numbers. Some of the sample programs use “localhost” as the host name when connecting to EAServer. See “Configuring listeners” in Chapter 3, “Creating and Configuring Servers,” in the EAServer System Administration Guide for more information.
