Complete the following steps to install the Acu4GL product on a Windows NT server machine.
Step One: Install SQL Server
Sybase, version 11.0 or later, must be installed and configured on the Windows NT server machine before you install Acu4GL for Sybase on the client machine. Follow the instructions from your RDBMS vendor.
The isql product, which is an interactive query tool, is also necessary for installing the ACUCOBOL-GT stored procedures. The Acu4GL product does not need isql after installation, but it is a tool that will give you quite a bit of flexibility. It allows you to do database work outside of COBOL, including interactive queries, table creation, table modification, and creation of views, constraints, and relationships between tables.
Acucorp does not provide these products.
Step Two: Copy the batch file
The file "syb_inst.cmd" is a batch file from Acucorp that will create the "syb_inst.sql" file, which is the collection of stored procedures necessary for executing the Acu4GL product. Copy "syb_inst.cmd" to your server machine into a directory of your choice.
Step Three: Execute the batch file
To execute the batch file, enter
SYB_INST LockDatabase
where LockDatabase is the database you want to use for the internal ACUCOBOL GT lock tables. If this database does not already exist, it will be created.
Everyone who will use the Acu4GL for Sybase product must have write access to this database.
This step creates "syb_inst.sql", which is the collection of stored procedures necessary for executing the Acu4GL product.
Step Four: Install the ACUCOBOL-GT stored procedures
You must have database administrator privileges to do this step. You need to enter the password for the database administrator.
Type:
ISQL -USA -Ppassword < SYB_INST.SQL
Another way to accomplish the same result is to use ISQL/W to execute syb_inst.sql as a query. See your Sybase documentation for how to do this.
