Postinstallation Tasks

After you install the server, set it up.

The SAP ASE installation includes folders that contain sample client library applications. These sample programs are included for training purposes only and are not intended to be installed in a production environment.

• Set Up sybase User in Windows
  After you install SAP ASE, stop the services and set up the "sybase" user in Windows.
• Verifying That Servers are Running
  Verify that the servers are running.
• Verifying Your Connection to the Servers
  Use isql to verify your connection to the servers.
• Test the Installation and Network Connections
  After installing SAP ASE, SAP Control Center, and the Java Runtime Environment, test the installation and network connections. The SAP ASE server communicates with other SAP ASE servers, Open Server applications (such as Backup Server), and client software on your network. Clients can talk to one or more servers, and servers can communicate with other servers using remote procedure calls.
• Setting the System Administrator Password
  When you install SAP software, the software creates a system administrator account called "sa," which can use any database on an SAP ASE server, including master, with full privileges.
• Installing Sample Databases
  The sample databases, which contain fictitious information, are designed to help you learn how to use SAP ASE. The sample databases are intended for training purposes only. Do not install them in an SAP ASE production environment.
