Use isql or dsedit to perform a quick test. Use isql to connect to servers:
At the command prompt, enter:
isql -Usa -Ppassword -Sserver_name
where server_name is the Adaptive Server, Monitor Server, or Historical Server name.
The command prompt is displayed if the login is successful.
To display the Adaptive Server version number, enter:
1> select @@version 2> go
Adaptive Server’s version number is displayed. The output should show Adaptive Server at version 12.5.
Alternatively, start dsedit.
From the Windows task bar, select Start | Programs | Sybase | dsedit.
Open the Directory Services window by clicking on OK.
Highlight the servername, where servername is the name of the server you want to test.
From the Server Option drop-down menu, select Ping.
A successful connection returns the message that the connection succeeded.
