Use isql to perform a quick test.
At the command prompt, enter:
%SYBASE%\%SYBASE_OCS%\bin\isql -Usa -Ppassword -Sserver_name
where server_name is the Adaptive Server name.
WARNING! The first time you log in to Adaptive Server, there is a default “sa” user name with all of the privileges but no password. After logging in for the first time, Sybase strongly advises you to change the system administrator’s password. See “Setting the System Administrator password”.
The isql command prompt is displayed if the login is successful.
To display the Adaptive Server version number, at the isql prompt enter:
1> select @@version 2> go
The Adaptive Server version number is displayed. The output should show Adaptive Server at version 15.0.3.
If you encounter errors, see the Troubleshooting Guide.
Alternatively, start dsedit.
From the Windows task-bar, select Start | Programs | Sybase | Connectivity | Open Client Directory Service Editor.
Open the Directory Services window by clicking OK.
Highlight servername (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.
