CHAPTER 5 Configuring Open Client and ODBC for EAServer
Installation Guide 75
Driver = SybaseASE
Trace = yes
Servername = ASE hostname
Port = 5000
Database = tempdb
uid = dba
The name of the driver must be the same as that defined in odbcinst.ini.
The server name is the database name without the extension.
To verify whether the connection is correct, go to
$JAGUAR/unixodbc/bin, and use the
isql command-line tool to execute:
./isql testase user password
If isql shows a command prompt rather than an error message, the
connection is successful.
Using ODBC from other client applications
If you have an ODBC client that uses an ODBC driver manager from a third
party, edit the driver name in odbc.ini file, and modify the odbcinst.ini file to
specify that driver. Refer to the third-party documentation for more details.
Configuring Open Client
This section describes only the basic configuration steps to use Open Client
with EAServer. For complete information on configuring Open Client, see the
Open Client/Server Configuration Guide for UNIX on the
Sybase Product
Manuals Web site at http://www.sybase.com/support/manuals
.
The Open Client files are installed in the openclient subdirectory of your
EAServer installation.
