The Adaptive Server plug-in to Sybase Central does not display all servers
listed in the interfaces file. Instead, Sybase Central lists only those servers that
you connected to earlier, or those servers that are started as Windows services.
To access a new server for the first time, select Tools | Connect to select a server
listed in the interfaces file.
Setting the System Administrator password
A user account called “sa” is created for the Sybase System Administrator
when you install the Sybase software. A user logged in as “sa” can use any
database on Adaptive Server, including
master, with full privileges.
Immediately after a new installation, there is no password on the “sa” account.
The initial default value for the password is NULL. In a production
environment, the Sybase System Administrator should always use a
non-default password.
The Sybase System Administrator should log in to the new Adaptive Server as
“sa” and set a password using
sp_password:
$SYBASE/$SYBASE_OCS/bin/isql -Usa -P -Sserver_name
1> sp_password null, new_password
2> go
where “null” is the default password and new_password is the password that
you are assigning to the “sa” account.
For greatest security, Sybase recommends that you set the password to have at
least six characters, with a combination of letters and numbers.
The SAMreport
SAMreport is a SySAM 2.0 license reporting tool used in conjunction with the
SySAM2.0 license server. It is a report generator that reports the license use of
FLEXnet-licensed applications. SAMreport reports license use based on
license activity recorded in the FLEXnet report logs, and on selected criteria
that include product and feature name, user, date and time, and display or host.
