Clients require a server object in the interfaces file to
access server properties and methods. Use the Sybase IQ Directory Services Editor (iqdsedit) to create the interfaces file entries.
Prerequisites
- You must be the owner
of the Sybase home directory ( %SYBASE%) to
run iqdsedit
- Make a copy of the interfaces
file before you make any changes.
Task- From a terminal or command line, change to %IQDIR15%\bin<platform>
The <platform> value is
64 or 32, depending on your installation.
- Start iqdsedit.
- On the Directory Service dialog, click OK.
- From the Server Object menu, choose Add.
- On the Server Name dialog, enter the server name, the
click OK.
- From the Server Entry Editor, type the server name,
then click Add new network transport.
The server name in your iqdsedit entry
must be the same as the database name.
- On the Network Transport Editor, select TCP transport,
then enter the host name and port number.
The defaults are usually
sufficient.
- Click OK to return to the Server Entry Editor.
The server
is now listed under Available Network Transports.
