Results of installation on Windows NT
On the Windows NT platform, the Sybase installation process performs a
nearly complete installation of Historical Server. The installation process:
• Copies Historical Server files to the Sybase installation directory.
• Adds parameter values for the Historical Server start-up command to the
NT Registry. It uses default values for these parameters. The entries are
under:
\\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SYBASE\SERVER\
servername \Parameters
• Adds the new Historical Server to the list of services in the NT Registry.
The entry is under:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\
Services
• Adds Historical Server connectivity information to the sql.ini file in the
Sybase installation directory on the Historical Server machine.
Configuration procedures on Windows NT
To complete Historical Server configuration:
1 Add connectivity information for Historical Server.
This task assigns a port or network address to Historical Server. It also
ensures that Historical Server can connect to one or more Adaptive
Server/Monitor Server pairs. Add connection information either to sql.ini
files or to a directory service. See Open Client/Server Configuration
Guide for Desktop Platforms for more information on any of the following
procedures and on
ocscfg
or
dsedit
.
If you are relying on sql.ini files for making client/server connections,
check the server listings in the sql.ini file. For Historical Server to run, this
file must contain entries for all of the following servers:
• Any Adaptive Server you want to monitor.
• A Monitor Server paired with each Adaptive Server.
