Start Servers

Start Adaptive Server or Backup Server from the command line.

You can start Adaptive Server or Backup Server using RUN_server_name files and startserver commands. You can also customize the start up options by editing RUN_server_name.

To start a server, your user account must have:

Access to the database servers (execute privileges) and database devices (read/write privileges).
Access to Adaptive Server distribution files.
System environment variables set.
Access to SySAM licenses. See the Sybase Software Asset Management User Guide.

The installation program creates the interfaces file and system environment variables when you install servers on your computer.

Server Start-up Parameters
Set the start-up parameters to the correct location and device names for starting an Adaptive Server or Backup Server.
RUN_server_name File
Each time a new Adaptive Server or Backup Server is created, the srvbuild program creates a RUN_server_name file that contains the information required to restart that server.
Using the startserver Command
Use startserver to start a server from the command line.
