CHAPTER 3 Post-Installation Tasks

Installation Guide

The System Administrator should log in to the new Adaptive Server as “sa”
and set a password using

sp_password

:

%SYBASE%\%SYBASE_OCS%\bin\isql -Usa -P -Sserver-name

1> sp_password null, new_password

2> go

where “null” is the default password and new_password is the password that
you are assigning to the “sa” account.

If Job Scheduler was configured to use the sa account an additional step is
necessary whenever the sa password is changed. Once the sa password has
been changed the following command will need to be executed:

1> sp_addexternlogin loopback, sa, sa, new_password

2> go

For greatest security, Sybase recommends that you set the password to have at
least six characters, with a combination of letters and numbers.

The SAMreport

SAMreport is a SySAM 2.0 license reporting tool used in conjunction with the
SySAM2.0 license server. It is a report generator that reports the license use of
FLEXnet-licensed applications. SAMreport reports license use based on
license activity recorded in the FLEXnet report logs, and on selected criteria
that include product and feature name, user, date and time, and display or host.

The reports provided by SAMreport belong to three report families:

Summary reports – summarize usage information about each feature used
from the license server.

Raw reports – show individual usage detail in textual format.

Server reports – provide details about a given license server.

For more information on SAMreport, see Chapter 5, “Using SySAM for Asset
Management” in the Sybase Software Asset Management User’s Guide.
