XP SERVER ATTRIBUTES


Related Adaptive Server Name  (Required)
----------------------------
Provide the name of the Adaptive Server that will be
using XP Server. 

XP Server is automatically unloaded when Adaptive Server 
is unloaded.

This field does not appear, if the related Adaptive Server
is created in the same srvbuild session as XP Server.  The
Adaptive Server you are creating is used as the related
Adaptive Server. 


Adaptive Server SA User Name  (Required)
----------------------------
Provide the Sybase System Administator (SA) user name for the
related Adaptive Server, or accept the default value.

This field does not appear, if the related Adaptive Server
is created in the same srvbuild session as XP Server. 


Adaptive Server SA Password  (Required)
---------------------------
Provide the SA password for the related Adaptive Server.

This field does not appear, if the related Adaptive Server is 
created in the same srvbuild session as XP Server.


Interfaces file entry  (Required)
------------------------
The interfaces file is an "address book" containing
the network location for each server and client application. 
If the network location of XP Server is not in the interfaces file, 
Adaptive Server and XP Server cannot communicate with each other.

The default location for the interfaces file is $SYBASE/interfaces.
An interfaces file entry contains:
 
    * Transport type
      The transport type, in conjunction with the port number, tells
      Adaptive Server where to listen for clients (in this case, 
      XP Server).

      The drop-down list contains the network protocols supported by 
      Sybase on this platform.  The default protocol is TCP.

    * Host name
      The host name is the name of the machine where you installed 
      XP Server.

    * Port number
      If you did not change the default protocol, the port number 
      displayed is the first available port address.

      If you select a protocol other than the default, the first available 
      port number may or may not be supplied.

NOTES:
  
     - The port number you specify cannot be used for any other purpose 
       on the machine where XP is installed. 

     - Add the port number that you selected for XP Server to the
       /etc/services file and label the entry "Sybase specific services."
       (You must log in as "root" to modify /etc/services.) 
       Making this entry is not required for the operating system to function 
       properly, but it may prevent others from using the port number.
