access server properties and methods. Use the 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.

The <platform> value is
64 or 32, depending on your installation.

- On the Directory Service dialog, click OK.
- From the Server Object menu, choose Add.
- On the Server Name dialog, enter the server name, the

then click Add new network transport. The server name in your iqdsedit entry

sufficient.
