This section describes how to configure your operating system for automatic restart of Adaptive Server and Backup Server.
In production systems, Adaptive Server, Backup Server, and Monitor Server should start automatically when you restart your computer. To do this, use the Control Panel to set up the server as an automatic service.
Do not place Adaptive Server devices on network drives.
If Adaptive Server uses a device on a network drive, you cannot
start the server as an automatic Windows service.
For more information on starting Monitor Server at operating system restart, see the Monitor Server User’s Guide.
Setting up Adaptive Server as an automatic service
Go to Windows Services at Start | Settings | Control Panel | Administrative Tools | Services.
Scroll through the list of available services until you find the listings for your Sybase servers.
Server names use the format:
“Sybase typeServer _ servername_suffix”
where servername is the name of the Adaptive Server and type and _suffix represent the server type:
“SQL” for Adaptive Server
“BCK” and “_BS” for Backup Server
“MON” and “_MS” for Monitor Server
“HIS” and “_HS” for Historical Server
“XP” and “_XP” for XP Server
Double click on the Adaptive Server service entry, or right click on the Adaptive Server service entry and select Properties.
In “Startup type,” select “Automatic.”
If you are starting Monitor Server as an automatic service,
make sure Adaptive Server is started as an automatic service also.
Adaptive Server must be running before Monitor Server can start.
Click the Close button to close the Services window.
The selected server now starts automatically each time you restart the computer. You can verify the status of the server by examining the status column in the Services applet.
See your Windows documentation or online help for more information on setting up automatic services.
