Installation guide

Configuring Open Client

EAServer

Set required

environment variables

To set the environment variables, edit the user_setenv.sh setup script located in

EAServer/bin. Create this file if it does not exist. Settings in this file are added

to the server environment when it starts.

After you run the setup script, set the SYBASE and LD_LIBRARY_PATH

environment variables manually.

1 Set the SYBASE environment variable to the full path of the EAServer

openclient subdirectory. For example:

setenv SYBASE /opt/Sybase/EAServer/openclient

2 Prefix the Open Client lib subdirectory to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH

environment variable. For example:

setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH $SYBASE/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Add server definitions

to the interfaces file

The interfaces file in the Open Client installation directory is a text file that

defines server names and addresses. You must add entries for each EAServer

or database server to which you intend to connect.

❖ Adding server entries to the file with a text editor

1 Create the file $JAGUAR/interfaces if it does not already exist.

2 Open the file in your text editor and add an entry in this format:

server_name

master tcp ether host tds_port

query tcp ether host tds_port

where:

• server_name – is a logical name for the server, composed of letters,

digits, and the underscore character.

• host – is the server machine’s host name or IP address.

• tds_port – is the EAServer or database server’s TDS listener port

number.

Note The master and query lines must begin with a single tab and no

spaces.

Verify connectivity

using isql

Run the Open Client isql tool to verify the configuration:

$SYBASE/bin/isql -I $JAGUAR/interfaces -S server_name -U user -P password

Where:
