srvbuildres

(UNIX only) Creates, using resource files, a new SAP ASE server, Backup Server, or XP Server with default or user-specified values for key configuration attributes.

The utility is located in $SYBASE/$SYBASE_ASE/bin.

Syntax

srvbuildres
	[-s sybase_dir]
	[-I interfaces_file]
	[-r resource_file]
    [-D user_data_directory

srvbuildres -v

Parameters

-I interfaces_file – specifies the name and location of the interfaces file to search when connecting to an SAP ASE server.
-r resource_file – executes the specified resource file.
-s sybase_dir – specifies the value to use for the SYBASE environment variable.
-Duser_data_directory – (optional) specifies the working directory when it differs from the default installation directory for the SAP ASE server. Use this option when you specify at the time that you install SAP ASE, that another user could configure the server. If you do not use -D, SAP ASE uses $SYBASE as the default.
-v – prints the version number and copyright message for srvbuildres and then exits.

Usage

Set the SYBASE environment variable to the location of the current version of SAP ASE before using srvbuildres.

The $SYBASE/$SYBASE_ASE/init/sample_resource_files directory contains these sample resource files:

sqlloc.rs*
sqlupgrade.adaptive_server.rs*
sqlupgrade.backup_server.rs*
sqlupgrade.monitor_server.rs*
srvbuild.adaptive_server.rs*
srvbuild.backup_server.rs*
srvbuild.job_scheduler.rs*
srvbuild.monitor_server.rs*
srvbuild.text_server.rs*
srvbuild.xp_server.rs*

The sample resource file from an SAP ASE installation looks similar to:

sybinit.release_directory: USE_DEFAULT
sqlsrv.server_name: PUT_YOUR_SERVER_NAME_HERE
sqlsrv.sa_login: sa
sqlsrv.sa_password: 
sqlsrv.default_language: USE_DEFAULT
sqlsrv.language_install_list: USE_DEFAULT
sqlsrv.language_remove_list: USE_DEFAULT
sqlsrv.default_characterset: USE_DEFAULT
sqlsrv.characterset_install_list: USE_DEFAULT
sqlsrv.characterset_remove_list: USE_DEFAULT
sqlsrv.sort_order: USE_DEFAULT
# An example sqlloc resource file...
