Viewing servers that are running on your network

Adaptive Server, along with its associated Backup Server and XP Server, registers with the network using Rendezvous technology, so that any Rendezvous client can discover what services are available. We have provided a service discovery tool for Sybase servers, called Server Discovery. This utility can be launched by double-clicking on its icon from the Finder. Look for /Applications/Sybase/Server Discovery.

When this application is run, you are presented with a list of available servers, showing service name, host name, port number, and a text field that contains server type, version and process id.

Use the Configuration menu item to automatically update the Sybase interfaces file for those servers that you have highlighted in the window.
