Before you start the Authorization Console to configure e-Biz Impact security, start the authorization database. This section describes how to start the database on both Windows and UNIX systems.
Starting the authorization database on Windows
Go to x:\Sybase\ImpactServer-5_4\asa\ (where “x” is the drive or directory where the e-Biz Impact server is installed) and double-click dbsrv8.exe to start Adaptive Server Anywhere.
When the Server Start-up Options dialog box opens, complete the options:
Database – use the Browse button to navigate to and select the authorization database. For example, if you are using the Sybase-provided database impact.db, this entry could be:
x:\Sybase\ImpactServer-5_4\bin\impact.db
where “x” is the directory or drive where the e-Biz Impact server is installed.
Server Name – enter dbsrv8.
Leave the remaining options as they are.
Click OK.
An Adaptive Server Anywhere status window appears and states that you have successfully connected to the database. When the last line displays, “Now accepting requests,” the window automatically minimizes.
Starting the authorization database on UNIX
Set the following environment variables in a terminal window or add them to your login .profile, changing the ASA_ROOT value to match the installation of your e-Biz Impact server.
ASA_ROOT=[e-Biz Impact install location]/Sybase/ImpactServer-5_4/asa
PATH=$ASA_ROOT/bin:$PATHLIB
PATH=$ASA_ROOT/lib:$LIBPATH
ASANY=$ASA_ROOTODBCINI=$NNSY_ROOT/odbc.ini
export ASA_ROOT PATH LIBPATH ASANY ODBCINI
The default ODBCINI value is shown
above. If you change this value, be aware that the ims wrapper
script, which is used to start clusters, may be using the default
value. If you have applications that require database connectivity,
the ims wrapper script overrides any environment variables
set in the user’s .profile. If the
application cannot locate the odbc.ini file,
or is referencing the incorrect one, it will fail to connect or behave
unexpectedly. See the e-Biz Impact Configuration Guide, Chapter 5, “Deploying
Files and Executing the e-Biz Impact Cluster,” for more information
about wrapper scripts.
Enter this command on one line to launch the authorization database:
ims.db dbsrv8 -n [SERVER NAME] -x "tcpip(PORT=NNNN)" [authorization database].db
-n [SERVER
NAME] – the unique user-defined name
given when running the database server process. This name must match:
The Server Name entered on the Database tab when you created the ODBC DSN for the client.
The ServerName entered for the DSN in the odbc.ini file when you created the ODBC DSN for the server.
-x “tcpip (PORT=NNNN)” – the
PORT used to start the server. The default port number is 2638.
Replace NNNN with the TCP/IP port
on which the database accepts connection requests. This port must
be unique and unused by other applications on the machine.
Because the database server always listens on port 2638,
even if you specify a different port using a network communication parameter,
applications can connect to the database without specifying a port
number.
However, an exception is the HP-UX operating system, on which the server does not listen on port 2638 if it is started on another port.
[AUTHORIZATION DATABASE] – the name of the authorization database, including the absolute path.
For example, if your settings are:
SERVER NAME = IMPACT_ADT_DB
PORT = 2638
Authorization database = impact_adt_db.db
Database file location = /sybase/clusters/prod/auth
You would enter this command on one line to launch the authorization database:
dbsrv8 -n IMPACT_ADT_DB -x "tcpip(PORT=2638)" /sybase/clusters/prod/auth
/impact_adt_db.db
