Running the getiqinfo Script

On UNIX platforms, getiqinfo is a shell script. On Windows platforms, getiqinfo.bat is a batch script in the IQ-16_0\bin64 directory. The getiqinfo script is installed with IQ Server; it is unavailable with the Network Client.

The steps vary for UNIX and Windows platforms.

  1. Start the script according to your platform:
    • At the UNIX command prompt, in the IQ-16_0/bin64 directory, type:
      getiqinfo.sh
    • In Windows, select Start > Run > <install_path>\IQ-16_0\bin64\getiqinfo.bat.

  2. As you are prompted, enter:
    • The directory of the database file. This is also the default location of the .iqmsg file, and the stktrc*.iq file on UNIX.

    • The base name of the database file (the file name without the .db suffix). This is also the default base name of the .iqmsg file.

    • Other directories to search for these files.

    • SAP Sybase IQ engine name (server name) and port number for this database server.

    • User ID and password of a user granted one of:
      • DROP CONNECTION system privilege
      • MONITOR system privilege
      • SERVER OPERATOR system privilege
    • The full path to the configuration file used to start the SAP Sybase IQ server, if one was used.

    • The full path to the output file in the -zo server option, if one was specified.

The program also directs you to send the listed files to SAP Sybase Technical Support.
