Testing the Installation and Network Connections
After installing Adaptive Server, Sybase Central, and the Java Runtime Environment, test the
installation and network connections. Adaptive Server communicates with other Adaptive
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 by remote procedure calls.
For Sybase products to interact with one another, each product must know where the others
reside on the network. Sybase stores this information in the interfaces file on Windows or
in a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) server.
1. Select Start > Programs > Sybase > Sybase Central 6.0.0.
2. Select Tools > Connect from the Sybase Central menu bar to activate an Adaptive Server
login window.
3.
Log in using the default user ID, "sa," with a password (the password cannot be null). If
you have changed the password, use the new password.
4.
Select the Adaptive Server to which you want to connect.
5. To disconnect from a server, select Tools > Disconnect, or right-click the connected server
icon and select Disconnect.
6.
Exit Sybase Central.
