You can start the Adaptive Server as a service, or from the command line:
As a service – see “Starting DirectConnect for Oracle as a service”.
From the command line – use the following syntax:
%SYBASE%\%SYBASE_DCO%\bin\dcoracle.exe -Sserver_name [-t] [-i%SYBASE%path_to_sql.ini_file] [-l%SYBASE%path_to_errorlog]
where:
-S is the name of DirectConnect for Oracle you are starting.
-t directs start-up messages to standard error.
-i is the path to the sql.ini file.
-l is the path to the error log.
For example, to start a DirectConnect for Oracle named “DCSERVER” on Windows using the default sql.ini and error log files, and using -t to trace start-up messages, enter:
%SYBASE%\%SYBASE_DCO%\bin\dcoracle.exe -SDCSERVER -t
The DirectConnect for Oracle is up and running when you see the “start-up complete” message.
