The operation of Sybase products relies on system environment variables being set
correctly.
Environment variables are set in the user’s environment either interactively or by including them
in the user’s .login and .cshrc files (for
C shell) or .profile file (for Bourne shell).
Note: The installer configures these environment variables in the SYBASE.csh and
SYBASE.sh files. Source these file to set the user's
environment.
- DSLISTEN – defines the name
Adaptive Server uses to listen for client connections if no name is given during
the Adaptive Server start-up. If DSLISTEN is not set, and no name is given
during the Adaptive Server start-up, the Adaptive Server name defaults to
SYBASE.
- DSQUERY – defines the Adaptive
Server name that client programs attempt to connect to if no Adaptive Server is
specified with a command line option. If DSQUERY is not set, and you do not
supply the Adaptive Server name with a command line option, clients attempt to
connect to SYBASE.
- SYBASE – defines the path of the
Sybase installation directory. The installation program sets up the variable
SYBASE to point to the release directory specified during installation.
- SYBASE_ASE –defines the
subdirectory of the Adaptive Server component.
- SYBASE_OCS –defines the
subdirectory to which Open Client™ is set.
- SYBASE_SYSAM– points to the
license-management software directory.
- PATH – specifies the directory
path to search for executables. The Sybase executables are located in the
installed componen'ts /bin directory. When using the source
files SYBASE.csh or SYBASE.sh, these
paths are prepended to PATH:
$SYBASE/$SYBASE_ASE/bin:$SYBASE/$SYBASE_OCS/bin
- LD_LIBRARY_PATH– this variable
specifies the directory to search for shared libraries. The Sybase shared
libraries are located in the installed component’s /lib
directory.
When using the source files SYBASE.csh or
SYBASE.sh, these paths are prepended to the
LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable:
$SYBASE/$SYBASE_ASE/lib:$SYBASE/$SYBASE_OCS/
lib:$SYBASE/SYBASE_FTS/lib,etc.
- LD_LIBRARY_PATH64– this variable
specifies the directory to search for shared libraries on 64-bit Sun
platforms.
- LIBPATH– on the IBM RS/6000
platform, this variable specifies which directory to search for libraries.
When using the source files SYBASE.csh or
SYBASE.sh, these paths are prepended to the LIBPATH
environment variable:
$SYBASE/$SYBASE_ASE/lib:$SYBASE/$SYBASE_OCS/
lib: $SYBASE/SYBASE_FTS/lib, etc.
- SHLIB_PATH – on HP-UX platforms,
this variable specifies which directory to search for libraries.
When using
the source files SYBASE.csh or
SYBASE.sh, these paths are prepended to the LIBPATH
environment variable:
$SYBASE/$SYBASE_ASE/lib:$SYBASE/$SYBASE_OCS/
lib: $SYBASE/SYBASE_FTS/lib, etc.
