Major Steps for Installing the NonStop ODBC Server
3. Install the client systems
•
Install the client software for connectivity. Use the NonStop ODBC installer for
ODBC clients. Follow the Microsoft/Sybase documentation for DBLIB.
•
Configure the client and ensure connectivity to the NonStop ODBC Server on
the NonStop system.
•
Install the client application and verify correct operation. For example, check
that the NonStop ODBC Server is connected to the correct database with
correct attributes, and so on.
4. Complete the configuration
•
Complete the NonStop ODBC Server configuration on the NonStop system
(and on client platforms if needed).
•
Install stored procedures for execution through the NonStop ODBC Server
(optional).
•
Verify that the entire system works correctly, including management options
such as tracing.
The NonStop ODBC Server is designed to run without requiring configuration
beyond the minimal information requested by the installation macro. However,
extensive configuration interfaces are available to meet the demands of a wide
application spectrum. Configuration involves setting process attributes on the
NonStop system, setting attributes of the NonStop ODBC Server for function and
performance, and setting the attributes of SQL/MP for function and performance.
Note.
•
If your PC already has TTE or RSC installed, or if you intend to use these products, be
sure to read Checking the PC Clients
on page 2-7 to see about sharing the same
communication stack.
•
ODBC/MP and Sybase no longer support Sybase DBLIB or DBLIB-based
applications. However, ODBC/MP continues to support Sybase DBLIB-based
applications if they can successfully negotiate the TDS 4.2 or TDS 4.6 message
protocols on which DBLIB is based. ODBC/MP no longer releases DBLIB-based client
libraries.
