Chapter 2 Sybase Central Overview

Start-up options

You must start Sybase Central first, then connect to EAServer Manager from within it. In an EAServer 5.0 installation, Sybase Central is located in $SYBASE/sybcent41.This location enables other Sybase products and multiple EAServer instances to use the same interface installation.

Starting Sybase Central on UNIX

To start Sybase Central, run either of these scripts:
- ```
$JAGUAR/bin/jagmgr
```
- ```
$SYBASE/sybcent41/bin/scjview
```

Starting Sybase Central on Windows

Select Start | Programs | Sybase | EAServer | EAServer Manager, or run either of these scripts from a command line:
- ```
%JAGUAR%\bin\jagmgr.bat
```
- ```
%SYBASE%\sybcent41\bin\scjview.bat
```

Connecting to EAServer Manager

To use EAServer Manager, you must be the jagadmin user or have the Admin role.

Select Tools | Connect. A server must be running before Sybase Central can connect to it.
If you are connecting for the first time, use jagadmin as the user name and leave the password blank. Verify the EAServer host and port number, and click Connect. The host and port number correspond to the EAServer host entry and IIOP port number defined in the listener.

For security, you can establish a password for the jagadmin user—see "Administration password and OS authentication".

EAServer and EAServer Manager must be the same version You can connect to EAServer version 5.0 from EAServer Manager version 5.0. While you can connect to earlier versions of EAServer from EAServer Manager version 5.0, this configuration is not supported, and you may encounter problems. You cannot connect to EAServer version 5.0 from earlier versions of EAServer Manager.
