Setting Up Adaptive Server as an Automatic Service

Use the Control Panel to set up the server as an automatic service.

  1. In Windows Services at Start > Settings > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services.
  2. Scroll through the list of available services until you find the listings for your Sybase servers.

    Server names use this format:

    Sybase typeServer _ servername_suffix

    where servername is the name of the Adaptive Server and type and _suffix represent the server type:

    • SQL – Adaptive Server
    • BCK and _BS – Backup Server
    • XP and _XP – XP Server
  3. Double-click Adaptive Server, or right-click Adaptive Server service entry and select Properties.
  4. Select Automatic as the start-up type.
  5. Click Close.

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 about setting up automatic services.
