Registering an SAP Sybase IQ Server

Make Sybase Control Center aware of an SAP Sybase IQ resource (for example, a server that can be monitored) and its connection information by registering the resource.

Prerequisites
Ensure that the SAP Sybase IQ server does not have multiple databases. Sybase Control Center for SAP Sybase IQ supports a maximum of one database per server.
Task
  1. In the Resource Explorer, select Resources > Register.
  2. Specify:
    New Resource Type Details
    Field Description
    Resource Name (Required) Name of the resource to register. Enter the actual name of the server, including uppercase and lowercase letters. If the name registered in Sybase Control Center does not exactly match the server name, some monitoring functions may not work.
    Resource Type
    Select a resource type:
    • IQ Logical Server – register an SAP Sybase IQ logical server.
    • IQ Multiplex – register an SAP Sybase IQ multiplex server.
    • IQ Server – register an SAP Sybase IQ simplex server. Recommended. Can handle both simplex and multiplex servers.
    Description A brief description to help you identify the resource.
  3. Click Next.
  4. Specify the connection information for your resource:
    New Resource Connection Details
    Field Description
    Host Name

    (Required) Host name of the SAP Sybase IQ server.

    IQ Port Number

    (Required) Port number on server host.

    Database

    Name of the database.

    Character Set

    Character set to use for the connection.

    Language

    Language to use for the connection.

    Logical Server

    Name of the logical server. This only appears when registering a logical server.

  5. (Optional) Enter a user name and password that SCC can use to authenticate with this resource to retrieve its software version. The credentials are used only for this purpose, then discarded.

    If you prefer not to authenticate now, click I do not want to supply authentication information.

    This step enables SCC to display the correct version information for the server before the server is formally authenticated (later in the configuration process).

  6. Click Next.
  7. (Optional) Click Add this resource to the current perspective. You must add a resource to a perspective (not necessarily the current perspective) before you can manage or monitor it.
  8. (Optional) Click Open the resource explorer to view this new resource. (This option is not present when the Resource Explorer is open.)
    The resource is added to the Resource Explorer even if you choose not to view it.
  9. Click Finish.
