Registering the Agent for an Adaptive Server

Use the Adaptive Server Administration Console to register the remote command and control agent.

Note: For Adaptive Server versions 15.7 and earlier, the agent is the Unified Agent. For versions 15.7 ESD1 and higher, the agent is the SCC agent. Follow the steps provided here to register either type of agent.

The agent is installed and set up as a component of the Adaptive Server installation. For information, see the Adaptive Server installation guide for your platform.

You must register and authenticate the agent to use Sybase Control Center to perform certain administrative tasks such as starting the Adaptive Server or viewing the Adaptive Server error log. You can perform other administrative tasks and all monitoring tasks without an agent.

For full administrative control, register an agent for each Adaptive Server you have configured. The agent is configured on the same host as the Adaptive Server that it manages. When you register the agent, you are updating Sybase Control Center with information on the machine and port number on which the agent is configured.

For information about configuration options for the Unified Agent, see Unified Agent and Agent Management Console Users Guide > Installing and Configuring Unified Agent and Agent Management Console in the Adaptive Server documentation set.

For information on security features for the Unified Agent, see Unified Agent and Agent Management Console Users Guide > Security in the Adaptive Server documentation set.

For Adaptive Server version 15.7 ESD 2 and later: no default; password is set during installation
