Preparing the Database Server

ODBCLink/SE Reference Manual

In the example above, if the “pid” was 7223" then “kill -16 7223" would stop the server. Using a “kill -16" is less dangerous than using “kill (pid)”. If you issue a kill command without the -16 and enter the wrong “pid” number then you may stop a server process that does not belong to you. Using “kill -16" will prevent this from happening.

Gather Information

When you install ODBCLink/SE on the PC client, you will need database server information. Now is a good time to Note it. The database administrator will have information about the database.

Host or node name of the HP3000 or HP9000 database server, or its IP address (For example: HP3000 or HP9000 or 123.456.789.123)

To obtain the host name used by the ARPA interface:

On the HP3000 check the HOSTS.NET.SYS file. If the hosts file does not exist, check the domain name service file. This file contains the names of the systems that have hosts files.

On the HP9000 check the /etc/hosts file. If the hosts file does not exist, check the domain name service file, /etc/resolv.conf. This file contains the names of the systems that have hosts files.

Fully qualified name or the absolute pathname of the DBEnvironment on the server: (For example: PartsDBE.SomeGrp.SomeAcct on the HP3000 or /usr/hpsql/sampledb/PartsDBE on the HP9000)

Logon string and password used to connect to the DBEvironment:(For example: SomeUser/passwd.SomeAcct/AcctPass,SomeGrp/GrpPass on the HP3000 orUser1,passwd on the HP9000)

Create the DBEnvironment
