You must complete some basic configuration tasks for an Open Client and Open Server product to initialize the application and make a connection, including:
Setting environment variables to specify a target’s default server and initial localization values. The values of DSQUERY and DSLISTEN are used, respectively, if the Open Client and Open Server applications do not explicitly specify a name of a server.
Ensuring that the target server’s address is available.
Configuring your network driver, if needed.
There are additional tasks if you are using one of the following:
A directory service
Security services
Custom localization values in addition to or instead of initial localization values
The following chapters provide configuration instructions. Refer to the configuration chapter appropriate to your installation.
