Perform the following steps if you installed the Evaluated Configuration on the Windows platform. Perform these steps as the same “sybase” user that installed Adaptive Server. The “sybase” user must be a member of Windows system-defined group “Administrators” to have the access privileges required to complete these steps.
For more information about installing Adaptive Server, see the Installation Guide for Windows.
Stop the Adaptive Server services. Open Control Panel | Administrator Tools | Services. Select each of the Sybase Adaptive Server entries and stop them by right-clicking on each entry and selecting “Stop.” There are separate entries in Services for Sybase Adaptive Server SQLServer, XPServer, BCKServer, MONServer, and SYSAM.
Install SybProtect. Download the SybProtect utility (EBF 12326) from www.sybase.com/downloads and extract all the files into a temporary location on your local disk using WinZIP. Follow the installation instructions in the EBF cover letter to install the SybProtect utility. After completing the installation, use the Windows Administrative Tools to stop the SybProtect service.
Set access permissions. Identify the drives and folders where the Adaptive Server software is installed, and identify Adaptive Server's disk devices. Use the Windows command-line tool, cacls, or Windows Explorer to set access permissions on the identified drives and folders.
See your Windows documentation or consult with your Windows administrator for information about cacls or Windows Explorer.
cacls is a command-line utility available
on Windows 2000 and later versions. On earlier Windows versions, cacls is
available from the NT Resource Kit.
Sybase recommends granting full control to user “sybase” and denying access to others on all identified drives, files, and folder hierarchies.
If users other than “sybase” need access to files (for example, configuration files, programs, libraries, and so on) in the folder hierarchy, you should limit their access to read and execute permissions. However, system administrators should review this access and any further access permissions to ensure they are required.
Start the Adaptive Server services as the user “sybase:”
Open Control Panel | Administrator Tools | Services and select each of the Sybase Adaptive Server entries, including the Adaptive Server entries listed in step 1 and the SybProtect service.
Set the “Log On” properties for each of the entries to use “sybase” and the password for this account. Performing this grants the user “sybase” the “log on as a service” privilege by Windows.
Start Adaptive Server services. Using the Administrative Tools, open Services and select each of the Sybase Adaptive Server entries that were stopped in step 1 and start them, including the SybProtect service
