Verifying that you can connect to servers

Use isql to perform a quick test.

  1. At the command prompt, enter:

    %SYBASE%\%SYBASE_OCS%\bin\isql -Usa -Ppassword
    

    where server_name is the Adaptive Server name.

    The command prompt is displayed if the login is successful.

  2. To display the Adaptive Server version number, enter:

    1> select @@version
    2> go
    

    The Adaptive Server version number is displayed. The output should show Adaptive Server at version 15.0.2.

    If you encounter errors, see the Troubleshooting Guide.

Alternatively, start dsedit.

  1. From the Windows task-bar, select Start | Programs | Sybase | Connectivity | Open Client Directory Service Editor.

  2. Open the Directory Services window by clicking OK.

  3. Highlight servername (the name of the server you want to test).

  4. From the Server Option drop-down menu, select Ping.

  5. A successful connection returns the message that the connection succeeded.
