Configuration
4. Complete the installation by doing the following
•
If needed, make a more detailed configuration of the NonStop ODBC Server on
the NonStop system and on client platforms.
•
Optionally install stored procedures.
•
Verify that the entire system functions correctly.
Both first-time installation, and migration to the latest release of the NonStop ODBC
Server are explained in Section 2, Installing the NonStop ODBC Server.
Configuration
Configuration of the NonStop ODBC Server is important to both installation and
management of the system. Therefore, configuration is described in both Section 2,
Installing the NonStop ODBC Server , and in Section 4, Managing the NonStop ODBC
Server.
The NonStop ODBC Server runs without requiring much configuration. However,
extensive configuration interfaces are available to meet the demands of a wide
application spectrum. Configuration involves:
•
the mapping of client objects to NonStop objects,
•
setting process attributes on the NonStop system,
•
setting attributes of the NonStop ODBC Server for function and performance.
You can use the utility program NOSUTIL, through its command interpreter, NOSCOM,
to configure the ODBC Server from a terminal on the NonStop system. This interface is
described under “Managing Customized Catalogs,” in the NonStop ODBC Server
Reference Manual.
Alternatively, you can use a PC connected to a LAN to configure the system by using
the NonStop ODBC Server Configuration Manager, a GUI (graphical user interface)
tool. This interface is described in Section 3, Using the NonStop ODBC Server
Configuration Manager.
Management
Management of the NonStop ODBC Server is a continuing process, beginning with
detailed configuration of the system after it is first installed, and going on to fine-tune
the operation of the system for optimum performance, based on customer needs,
query traffic, and system load.
Management involves:
•
system and data source configuration,
•
improving performance by using techniques such as statement caching,
