SELECTING SERVERS TO CREATE

This is the srvbuild main menu. Srvbuild is used to create 
new servers.

If you are upgrading an Adaptive server, choose the
Upgrade Adaptive Server button in the sybsetup main menu.

To Select a Server Type
-----------------------
1. Choose the type(s) of server(s) to create. See
   "Server Types" below.  

   You can create one or more server types in a session.

   Only the server types you unloaded from the distribution media
   are displayed on the srvbuild screen. 

2. Provide names for the servers you are creating.
     
   See "Server Name Conventions" below.

3. Click OK to continue.

Server Types
------------
* Adaptive Server
  The relational database server. 
   
* Backup Server
  An Open Server application that manages database backup (dump) and
  restore (load) requests. Create a Backup Server if you
  plan to dump and load databases on Adaptive Server.
     
* Monitor Server
  An Open Server application that obtains performance statistics on 
  Adaptive Server and makes those statistics available to Monitor Client 
  applications. 
   
  Monitor Server must be installed on the same machine as
  the Adaptive Server that is being monitored.
    
* XP Server
  An OpenServer application that manages extended stored procedures (ESPs).
  ESPs provide a method for calling procedural language functions from 
  within Adaptive Server.
  
  XP Server must be installed on the same machine as Adaptive Server.
    
* Job Scheduler
  Job Scheduler eases the management of Adaptive Server by providing the
  ability to define and schedule database administration tasks. With Job
  Scheduler, jobs that normally require interaction from a database
  administrator can be scheduled to run unattended at the appropriate times,
  freeing the database administrator to attend to other issues. 

Server Name Conventions 
-----------------------
Server names are stored in the interfaces file and are used by clients and
other servers to establish communication. 

Each server in the interfaces file must have a unique name. By default,
a new server name includes the name of the machine on which the server
is created.

For easier maintenance and clarity,
   - Use a name that is unique to your network
   - Use a name that is descriptive of your intended use 
   - Use a name that relates the server to other servers 
   - Use the extensions _back, _mon, and _xp to relate other server
     types to Adaptive Server.  (Adaptive Server has no extension.)
   - The name must be 30 characters or less
   - The following characters are not allowed: control characters, 
     spaces, ampersand (&), asterisk (*), period (.), and question mark (?)
   - The first character of a server name must be a letter (ASCII a-z, A-Z)
   - The characters that follow must be letters, numbers, or underscores (_)
   - Names are case sensitive on UNIX platforms

Comments and Restrictions
-------------------------
* You can select multiple server types in one session, but you can 
  create only one server of a given type in a given session. For example, 
  you can create an Adaptive Server and a Monitor Server, 
  but you cannot create two Adaptive Servers or two Monitor Servers.

* If you are creating a server type other than an Adaptive Server, you must 
  provide the name of the related Adaptive Server. For example, if you 
  are creating a Backup Server, provide the name of the Adaptive Server 
  to be backed up by that Backup Server.
