Adding a server to the interfaces file

During Adaptive Server product installation, the installer adds entries to the
sql.ini file for the new Adaptive Server, Backup Server, Monitor Server,
Historical Server, or XP Server.

To access a Sybase server through the interfaces file, each server must be
included in the interfaces file on the client computer.

To add a server entry to the interfaces file on your PC-Client computer:

1

From the Microsoft Windows task bar, select Start | Programs | Sybase |
Connectivity | Open Client Directory Service Editor.

2

Click OK on the first window to open the InterfacesDriver window.

3

Select ServerObject from the menu, and click Add.

4

In the Input Server Name box, enter the name of the server for which you
are creating an entry.

Click OK.

5

In the Attributes column, double-click the server address row you just
added.

6

In the ProtocolNetwork Address, click Add.

7

From the drop-down list in the Protocol box, select TCP, NAMEPIPE, or
SPX.

By default, connections from client products to Adaptive Server are
enabled through the Named Pipes and Winsock network protocols.
