Starting and Stopping Sybase Control Center in Windows

There are several ways to start and stop Sybase Control Center. You can start it manually, which is useful for testing and troubleshooting, or set the service to start automatically and to restart in case of failure.

If you run Sybase Control Center manually, you must issue a command every time you want to start it. If you run as a service (which is recommended), you can configure Windows to automatically start and restart Sybase Control Center. These are the options:

Use the scc.bat command to start Sybase Control Center manually. The command gives you access to the Sybase Control Center console, which you can use to shut down the server and to display information about services, ports, system properties, and environment variables. You can also use scc.bat to change the logging level for troubleshooting purposes. Using scc.bat prevents you from taking advantage of the automatic start and restart features available to services.
Use the Services list under the Windows Control Panel to start, stop, and configure the Sybase Control Center service.
Use the net start and net stop commands. This is another way to run Sybase Control Center as a service.
Note: To start or stop Sybase Control Center as a service, you must have selected Yes in the installer to install Sybase Control Center as a service.

The installer attempts to start Sybase Control Center as a service and configures the service to restart automatically. Before starting, check the Windows Services list for a Sybase Control Center service.

Start Sybase Control Center:
1. (Recommended) Change to the Sybase directory immediately above the installation directory and run SYBASE.bat.
2. If you are starting Sybase Control Center for the first time in Windows Vista, access the command prompt as an administrator so that Sybase Control Center can register its ODBC driver.
3. Enter:

Stop Sybase Control Center:
1. (Recommended) Change to the Sybase directory immediately above the installation directory and run SYBASE.bat.
