The Sybase IQ Agent must be running in order to do many multiplex operations (such as creating query servers) on Sybase Central. The Sybase IQ Agent generally is started whenever you reboot a Windows machine where Sybase IQ is installed. Before you administer a multiplex, verify that the Sybase IQ Agent is running. For more about the Sybase IQ Agent, see “Specifying the Agent Port”.
Checking the Sybase IQ Agent on Windows

If no running agent is owned by your username, change directory to $ASDIR/bin and run S99Sybase I\IQAgent1270.
To start the agent using the host name returned by uname -n use the optional -host parameter, as follows:
S99SybaseIQAgent1270 -host
To start the agent using the host’s alias enter:
S99SybaseIQAgent1270 -host <foo>
where foo is an alias present in the /etc/hosts file.
