CHAPTER 14 Adaptive Server IQ as a Data Server

Setting up Adaptive Server IQ as an Open Server

This section describes how to set up an Adaptive Server IQ server to receive connections from Open Client applications.

System requirements

Server-side requirements

Client-side requirements

There are separate requirements at the client and server for using Adaptive Server IQ as an Open Server.

At the server side, in order to use Adaptive Server IQ as an Open Server, you must have a TCP/IP protocol stack in order to use Adaptive Server IQ as an Open Server, even if you are not connecting over a network.

Note When connecting to a remote Adaptive Server IQ from a local Adaptive Server Enterprise server using OmniConnect, use these server classes:

•To connect to Adaptive Server IQ 12.x, use server classes asaodbc and

asajdbc.

•To connect to Adaptive Server IQ 11.x, use server class asiq.

In order to use Sybase client applications to connect to an Open Server, including Adaptive Server IQ, you need the following:

•Open Client components—The Open Client libraries provide the network libraries that your application needs to communicate via TDS.

•DSEDIT —The Directory Services Editor makes server names available to your Open Client application.

Starting the database server as an Open Server

If you wish to use Adaptive Server IQ as an Open Server, you must ensure that it is started using the TCP/IP protocol. By default, all available communications protocols are started by the server, but you can limit the protocols started by listing them explicitly on the command line. For example, the following command lines are both valid:

asiqsrv12 -x tcpip,ipx other_server_switches

asiqdemo.db

asiqsrv12 -x tcpip -n myserver other_server_switches
