Checking the PC Clients
the NonStop ODBC Server provided they use only those features supported by Sybase
4.9.x SQL Server version.
Level 6—PC Application
Verify that the following conditions are met on each PC to be used for a client
application.
ODBC Clients
For ODBC clients, check the following:
1. For Microsoft Windows, in addition to application needs, you need the following if
you use the NonStop 32-bit driver:
Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 2000 Professional, Windows XP
Professional, or NT 3.5x Server or Workstation
At least 16 MB of memory
At least 40 MB of available disk
2. For TCP/IP, verify this information:
a. Check that the PC has the correct LAN card (for Microsoft, FTP, or Novell).
Novell NE2000 and 3COM 3c503 are recommended.
b. Follow vendor instructions for installing the communication software. (The
communication drivers are supplied by HP and are installed when the NonStop
ODBC driver is installed.)
3. Check that you have a file transfer capability, such as IXF or FTP, between the
NonStop system and the PC.
4. Verify LAN connectivity between the NonStop system and the PC over the
transport to be used. This can be done in a variety of ways, including the following:
a. Verify that file transfer works (which also verifies the previous step).
b. If you use TCP/IP, start a TELNET session.
c. Start a dynamic TTE session.
Note. There is a large number of configuration combinations for the client. NonStop system
does not validate all of the previously stated combinations or guarantee they will work under all
conditions.
When you use one of the combinations listed here, you should follow all of the NonStop ODBC
Server installation procedures that follow. In particular, after you have configured your LAN
connections, you should verify that clients have LAN connectivity to the NonStop system
before NonStop ODBC Server clients try to connect to NonStop ODBC servers.
Note. Verifying that the client has LAN connectivity to the NonStop system is one of the most
important checks to be made before proceeding.
