Test the Installation and Network Connections

After installing Adaptive Server, Sybase Control Center, and the Java Runtime Environment, test the installation and network connections. Adaptive Server communicates with other Adaptive Servers, Open Server applications (such as Backup Server), and client software on your network. Clients can talk to one or more servers, and servers can communicate with other servers by remote procedure calls.

For Sybase Control Center to work, install both the SCC agent for Adaptive Server as well as the SCC Management User Inserface for Adaptive Server. The agent is installed as part of a typical installation of Adaptive Server, while the SCC Management User Interface for Adaptive Server is available in the custom installation option. See the Sybase Control Center Installation Guide for details on how to install and set up SCC.

For Sybase products to interact with one another, each product must know where the others reside on the network. Sybase stores this information in the interfaces file on Windows or in a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) server.

Follow the instructions in Sybase Control Center for Adaptive Server Enterprise to launch SCC and configure Adaptive Server for monitoring. You can then view a list of monitored servers in the Administration Console of the Perspective Resources view in SCC to verify your connections.
