E.3.3 Installation Steps on the UNIX or Windows NT Server

Perform the following steps on the UNIX server machine (the client and server may be located on the same machine):

Step One: Install Sybase

The Sybase server, version 11.0 or later, must be installed and configured on your server machine. Follow the Sybase installation instructions in your Sybase documentation.

Step Two: Move the ACUCOBOL-GT stored procedures

Move "syb_inst.sql" to your server machine (the one hosting the Sybase RDBMS). This file was created in step 2 of the client installation.

Step Three: Install the ACUCOBOL-GT stored procedures

You must have database administrator privileges to install the ACUCOBOL-GT stored procedures on the server. (You need to enter the password for the database administrator.) Enter the following command:

     isql -Usa -Ppassword  <  syb_inst.sql

("syb_inst.sql" is created during the installation of the client)

This completes the installation steps on the UNIX server machine.

Note: If you are upgrading from an earlier version of Acu4GL, be sure to install the new stored procedures. Acucorp always upgrades stored procedures in such a way that they are compatible with older versions of the product, so installing new stored procedures over old ones does not affect your ability to run with an older version of the interface software.

The next steps are to:

Set up one or more user accounts in the database.

Set up the user's environment.

Designate the host file system.

Use the sql.acu program.

Prepare and compile your COBOL program.

Use the demonstration program.
