Sybase Server/Database Tips
Server Fails to Start
Some common reasons why the Sybase service fails to start include:
• The command line has syntax errors.
• The wrong name or location was specified for the database.
Configuration Issue
If your server is servicing more than one IP address, you should specify
which IP address you want Sybase to use. To do this, include a MyIP =
switch in the Sybase command line parameters as shown in the example
below.
Example:
-n SME -c15% -ti 0 -qp -x tcpip(MyIP= X.X.X.X) VOL1:\
ResultsManager\SuccessMaker\database\SME.db
Switches Breakdown
-n Logical name of the Sybase server engine.
-x tcpip
Locks the database server into using TCP/IP protocol only.
This should improve performance in some areas.
-qp Suppresses Sybase Console Warning messages.
-ti 0 Sets the client idle time before disconnecting.
-c15%
Amount of RAM allocation to the Sybase engine. 15%
denotes 15% of the total system RAM.
(MyIP=X.X.X.X) X.X.X.X = IP address used by the Sybase engine.
(ServerPort=XXXX)
XXXX = Server port used by the Sybase engine; the default
is 2638 unless otherwise specified.
