Setting permissions for the Sybase IQ Agent on Windows

On Windows, you must change the owner of the Sybase IQ Agent because the System account starts the agent by default.

The user who starts the agent becomes the creator and owner of multiplex databases and server directories, and must have write privileges on all of the servers in the multiplex.

  1. Choose Administrative Tools > Services.
  2. Right-click “Sybase IQ Agent” and choose Start.
  3. On the General tab, choose Automatic for Startup Type.
  4. On the Log On tab, change the Log on as: option from the System Account to This Account.
  5. Browse to select an account with the appropriate privileges, then click OK.
  6. Type and reconfirm that account’s password, then click OK.
