Chapter 4: Installing Sybase PC-Client Products


Overview

Clients, such as Sybase Central and Open Client, are used to access Adaptive Server. See the Open Client/Server Configuration Guide for Desktop Platforms.

Sybase Central, ASE and SySAM plug-ins

Sybase Central allows you to connect to Adaptive Server via client connections. You can use Sybase Central to connect to remote servers, local servers (installed on the same machine), and multiple servers. See “Configuring network connections for client products”. Before you use the plug-in, restart your computer to implement changes made to the PATH and CLASSPATH environment variables during installation.

Open Client runtime

The Sybase PC-Client CD includes Open Client software for Windows. Monitor Client Library requires Open Client/C with the SDK option.
