Problem configuring Networker with Sybase ASE 15.7

Hi,

I have a problem configuring Networker with Sybase ASE 15.7. The problem is that i don't know anything about Sybase. I have installed Networker Client 8.1 64bit and NMDA 1.5 32bit, linked the networker library with Sybase, and also i have run the command "nsrsybra -i" to register the wizard.

i have create a database user with SA_ROLE and OPER_ROLE

Now when i try to add the client resource through the wizard i get the following error:

Sybase server connection failed for hccerpdev. Error in loading OCS library.

hccerpdev is the client hostname

sapsa is the database user

Somehow the networker client cannot communicate with Sybase Open Client Server which is the interface to communicate with Sybase database as far as i understand.

i have attached a snapshot from the error that appears.

Any clues?

Thanks,

Ahmed

    Firstly, welcome to the forums, and above all, thank you for being an EMC customer.

    Please consider moving this question as-is (no need to recreate) to the proper forum for maximum visibility.  Questions written to the users' own "Discussions" space don't get the same amount of attention and can go unanswered for a long time.

    You can do so by selecting "Move" under ACTIONS along the upper-right.  Then search for and select: "NetWorker Support Forum".

    Hi Chris,

    I don’t see the “Move” under “Action”. I only have “Report abuse” and “View as PDF”.

    Is there a way to grand me more privileges to do?

    Mustafa,

    My response was directed to the author of the post as you won't be able to relocate it.  The owner is the only person that can relocate it out of his "Discussions" space.

    Two questions:

    a) you mentioned 64 bit client and 32 bit module - why so? Is Sybase 32-bit?

    b) have you tried to make configuration manually - outside wizard?

    Thanks Hrvoje,

    if you checked the NMDA installation guide you will find that it is mentioned for Sybase only you have to install NMDA 32bit even if you have a 64bit server. I tried the 64bit version first and when i tried to add the client with the wizard i couldn't find Sybase in the list of applications installed on the server.

    Anyways i found the solution for the problem, it's related to the environment variables on the Sybase client itself. If you checked under the Sybase installation Directory

    e.g.:     c:\sybase\PRD

    you will find a file called sybase.env and also a windows batch file sybase.bat which have all the environment variables for Sybase. Just add all this environment variables to Windows gloabal environment variables and restart  the networker client and it will work.

    Thanks again.
