This section describes how to start a database server running the sample database. For complete information on starting servers, see Sybase IQ System Administration Guide.
If your system has multiple users or is one of several
machines in a subnet, edit the file $ASDIR/demo/asiqdemo.cfg to
specify a unique port and server name. Change the arguments to the -n servername switch
and the -x ‘tcpip{port=####} to
specify a server name and port number that are not in use. Avoid
the port number 2638, which is also the default port for Adaptive
Server Anywhere, if that product is installed on your system.
Starting a server running the sample database
from Windows
Log in to your host machine as the user DBA, or using an account with DBA privileges.
From the Start menu, choose Programs > Sybase > Adaptive Server IQ 12.6 > Start Sybase IQ Demo Database.
This starts a server running the sample database. The server
window appears briefly, then disappears, after which the server
appears as an icon in the system tray. The server name is your system
name followed by an underscore and asiqdemo.
Starting a server running the sample database
from the command prompt (UNIX or Windows)
Log in as the user DBA, or using an account with DBA privileges privileges
Change to a directory where you have write permission and make a copy of the $ASDIR/demo directory there (%ASDIR%\demo on Windows).
At the command prompt, type the following command:
start_asiq @asiqdemo.cfg asiqdemo.db
This starts a server running the sample database.
Starting a server running the sample database

The following steps assume that you have started Sybase Central and are running the IQ plug-in.
Select the Sybase IQ plug-in in the left pane.
Click the Utilities tab in the right pane, or press Alt+T, I, S.
