Description

UNIX platforms only Creates a new Adaptive Server, Backup Server, Monitor Server, or XP Server with default or user-specified values for key configuration attributes. You can use srvbuild in either GUI mode based on X11/Motif, or non-GUI mode. srvbuild is located in $SYBASE/$SYBASE_ASE/bin.

Syntax

srvbuild
    [-s sybase_dir]
    [-I interfaces_file]
    [-r resource_file]

srvbuild -v

Parameters

-s sybase_dir: specifies the value to use for the SYBASE environment variable.

-I interfaces_file: specifies the name and location of the interfaces file to search when connecting to Adaptive Server.

-r resource_file: executes the specified resource file.

-v: prints the version number and copyright message for srvbuild and then exits.

Usage

You must set the SYBASE environment variable:

To the location of the current version of Adaptive Server before you can use srvbuild.
Before invoking srvbuild, unless you are only using the -v parameter to display the version number.

Using LDAP with srvbuild in a 64-bit environment

When you use srvbuild to build a new server using a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) service in a 64-bit environment, you must edit the LDAP server entry.

srvbuild is a 32-bit application and uses the LDAP server entry from the $SYBASE/$SYBASE_OCS/config/libtcl.cfg file. Adaptive Server is a 64-bit application and uses the LDAP server information from the $SYBASE/$SYBASE_OCS/config/libtcl64.cfg file.

Do not include any blank spaces after the LDAP server entry in the libtcl.cfg or libtcl64.cfg files; these prevent srvbuild from connecting to the LDAP server.

For more information on configuring a server using LDAP, see Chapter 11, “Managing Adaptive Server Logins, Database Users, and Client Connections,” in the System Administration Guide.

Permissions

You must be a Sybase System Administrator to use srvbuild.
