Verifying client connections

You can perform a test to confirm that your Open Switch is running, and that it can accept client connections.

Confirming that OpenSwitch can accept client connections

Go to the $SYBASE directory, and from a C shell, enter:
```
source SYBASE.csh
```
From a Bash, a Bourne, or a Korn shell, enter:
```
. ./SYBASE.sh
```
Verify that the Adaptive Server you configured to use with OpenSwitch is running. At the command prompt, enter:
```
isql -Uusername -Ppassword -SServer_name
```
where Server_name is the name of the Adaptive Server.

The connection is established if Adaptive Server is up and running.
Use isql to log in to OpenSwitch as an administrator:
```
 isql -UAdministrator_UserName -PAdministrator_Password -SOpenSwitch_ServerNname
```
where:
- Administrator_Username – is the OpenSwitch administrator user name specified in the OpenSwitch configuration file.
- Administrator_Password – is the OpenSwitch administrator password specified in the OpenSwitch configuration file.
- OpenSwitch_ServerName – is the name of the OpenSwitch server specified in the OpenSwitch configuration file.

To check the connection using rp_set TEXTSIZE command, enter:

1> rp_set TEXTSIZE
2> go

You should see:

parameter      value
------------------------------------------------
TEXTSIZE       1048576

(1 row affected)
(return status = 0)

The connection to OpenSwitch is established successfully.

Use isql to log in to OpenSwitch as a regular client connection:
```
isql -UUsername -PPassword -SOpenSwitch_ServerName
```
where:
- Username – is the client user name.
- Password – is the client password.
- OpenSwitch_ServerName – is the name of the OpenSwitch server as specified in the OpenSwitch configuration file.

To view the Adaptive Server version information in which OpenSwitch is connected to, issue the select @@version command:

1> select @@version
2> go

You should see:
