Setting up a iAnywhere DB service in Windows
|
|

| Hi everyone!
My team has inherited some IP from another company that used
iAnywhere as its platform, and I'm doing some due diligence
to see if it makes sense for my company (Comcast) to try to
continue to use iAnywhere or move to a different solution.
To start, we're trying to recreate the steps the old team
left for us to build the system, but we're breaking down
when we try to set up a SQLAnywhere Windows service. Here's
the command I'm trying to run:
C:\>dbsvc -as -s auto -t network -y -w [server name]
"C:\Program Files\Sybase\SQL Anywhere 9\win32\dbsrv9.exe" -c
20m -n [server name] -x tcpip(PORT=2638) [DB file from
dbinit]
This command does add an Adaptive Server Anywhere instance
to the Services list in Windows, but when I try to start the
service, it fails with no errors.
I'm a complete newbie to iAnywhere, so I apologize if I'm
missing something obvious here. Any help you can give me
would be great. Thanks, and have a great holiday!

Two things to try:
1. Check the Event Log to see if there are any messages in there
2. Add "-o C:\some\path\asa_con
sole.txt -os 10MB" to the list of
parameters (after the "dbsrv9" but before the list of db files) so as to
capture the server's console log to asa_console.txt; then check
asa_console.txt after the startup failure
Post whatever error messages you find if you aren't sure how to resolve
them.

Good thinking, Greg! This plus some googling got me what I
needed to figure it out. Turns out a space got put into the
-x TCPIP parameter (not reflected in the statement above)
that was confusing dbsrv9.exe. Thanks!
