UNIX Workstation Installation
This subsection describes how to install a UNIX workstation client that uses DBLIB to
communicate with the NonStop ODBC Server.
Installation Procedure
The installation procedure is as follows:
1. Read the softdoc included with the NonStop ODBC Server.
2. Make sure all checks of UNIX software and hardware have been done.
3. Configure the network connection according to vendor instructions. For TCP/IP,
you must set the IP address for the NonStop system and the port number to
connect to (2314 in this example).
4. Verify that TCP/IP is active and a LAN connection exists between the client
workstation and the NonStop system. As discussed under DBLIB Clients on
page 2-12 you can perform this step in a number of ways:
•
Use Ping to test physical IP connectivity. Enter the following:
/usr/etc/ping Tandem-host
You should see the response:
Tandem-host is alive
•
Verify that file transfer works.
•
Start a TELNET session.
5. Run the Sybase or DBLIB embedded application script to configure the DBLIB
environment. For Sybase script, type:
SYBCONFG
The script checks to make sure all required files have been installed correctly. If an
error is detected, the user is notified of possible causes and a suggested course of
action to correct the problem.
The script requests the following information:
Enter Server Name?
Enter Query Port Number?
For example:
Enter Server Name? ODBCTCP1
Enter Query Port Number? 2314
Installation complete.
Answer the first request with the logical name (network-name) that represents
the host NonStop system on which the NonStop ODBC server has been installed.
